Workshop Write-up:
In this weeks workshop I had to create a six slide example presentation to show that I could competently use this software. Having used this software before I found it easy enough to complete this task.
To start off this task I put a simple background on all six slides making it the same as to keep my presentation simple and neat. I then started to add the text and content to the slides in Arial font still keeping it simple and neat.
Once I had input all the content of the presentation I started with the animations and effects. I put a simple slide transition in so the presentation ran smoothly. I then started to animate my sections of text to allow the presentation to run automatically.
To finish off the presentation I added a graphic to enhance the look and feel and to get my final points across.
