Day 5 Readings

Using Fonts Effectively in Your Multimedia Presentation
This article gave good advice. I especially apppreciated the 24 karat rule. I need to look at the serif fonts to understand what the author means by having fuzzy edges.

What Are Your Visuals Saying About You?
The point is made that your visuals - presentations are an extension of yourself and group. You need the presentation to make a good first impression. The cutesie clipart pictures are not professional. Low quality graphics are frustrating to your audience. If the "sale" is worth it, use the correct graphics and the best color. don't lose the sale, promotion, or whatever for want of a better graphic.

Incorporating Photographs in Your Multimedia Presentations
Good hints and suggestions about using a scanner to scan a photo right into the photo editing software. Quality is the big message here. It makes me think of the old computer adage - garbage in - garbage out. You want the best on the screen, so look for the best to put into your presentation.
