I enjoyed all of the 'horrible' presentations on what not to do when creating a Power Point, but I especially enjoyed Juan's, Alex's, and Andre's. I loved that all of Juan's slides were white and barely readable, and his presentation was very amusing! Alex did a great job making all of the slides clash with obnoxious colors, and I really liked that she included charts and graphs with distracting values. The use of distracting animation and colors was also very well done in Andre's presentation. After seeing all of the wonderfully-terrible presentations, things you should remember to do when giving a Power Point presentation are:
- Include title pages for your slides, using a large, bold font
- Use simple, color coordinated backgrounds and colors
- use appropriate pictures and animations to make the presentation captivating, but don't use too many!
- Coordinate text fonts and sizes so that it looks professional and is easy to follow
- Make text size legible
- Use short, concise statements in a bulleted format
- Include a bibliography for any cited sources, including pictures

I love that last slide in your PowerPoint, I know it was suppose to be ridiculous but the colors were so fun! It got the point that the colors should be appropriate across, though.
I really liked how you showed the variance in fonts on one of your slides. And I completely agree with Natalie, I LOVED that last page, it was fun and the background was so pretty! Wow, I am such a girl...haha! But really, great job!
Your slide about using different types of text was useful and it was funny that you used a symbol based alphabet which was completely unreadable! I agree with the other two on our row-where did you find that cool background on the last slide? Also telling people to keep the wordiness to a minimum was smart.
