After reading Chapters 1 and 4 of They Snooze, You Lose by Lynell Burmark, I reviewed my copyright presentation. This is the thought process I engaged in as I edited.
| Design Element | Reasoning |
| 1. Creativity | My slides were boring! I did not use any images to support the content or break up the words. · I added graphic images of numbers to all slides that were related to the four factors of fair use. · Images were added to several pages to break up the text. |
| 2. Number of words | I was very verbose in my original presentation. I reduced many of the slide words and moved them to my notes section and a reminder of what to share with my audience. |
| 3. Formatting | I chose to adjust the formatting for consistency. All headings were put in bold. The position of text boxes was standardized. |
| 4. Hook—Connections | My first slide attempted to hook my audience by eliciting a personal story. I chose to decrease the number of words on this slide because in a presentation we would simply discuss their response. |
| 5. Font | Initially, I was planning to change my font to one of the four suggested by Dr. Burmark (Verdana, Georgia, Times New Roman, or Arial). However, after reviewing my slides, I felt that my font choice of Century Gothic was appropriate and readable. The kern size did not allow letters to run into each other and it’s a clean, simple font. |
| 6. Color | Dr. Burmark suggested using a blue background with a yellow font/foreground. I tested a few sample color schemes and created my own using this principal. I was not able to find something to my satisfaction. I ultimately chose to stay with my green/orange accent color scheme. Green is a calming color and copyright can be a stressful topic for anyone using images and content from the internet. |
