Powerpointing at good work

The powerpoints presented in class on Tuesday were far more visually entertaining than most I've seen. My favorites had to be Alaska's and Will P.'s.

Alaska design was fairly simple and easy to follow. Her topic was digital photography and she took advantage, showing us some funky pictures that highlighted it's special functions. She spoke on elements of design and used an old man with a bicycle as an example. It's about time somebody did. Anyway her funky, and informative, presentation was as funky as she is. I must say: Good show Alasko!

Will P.'s presentation stood out for it's humor. It was about sex mostly, with some monkey creatures (Bonobos) thrown in for good measure. I liked his verbal adages the most because he spoke very naturally and looked unrehearsed. I respect that kind of bravado, especially for his topic cause who doesn't have an opinion? Like any experienced performer he left the audience in limbo before the climax of his show. He skillfully gave us a snippet of his sexy bonobo montage and then let the audience sweat in anticipation for a minute before successfully playing the slide in full. His presentation was plus plus. Well done William.

    Aaron: Your power-point was awesome! The photographs you used went so well with the content and really persuaded me to want to get up and go preserve a park! Good Job!
