Picture that lies

I chose a picture of Tiger Woods because like most of the world I believe is one of the greatest golfers alive and to have played the game. The picture came from http://www.spartyandfriends.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/02/tiger-woods-wins-2008-accenture-match-play-championship1.jpg and this was him after winning the Accenture Tournament. The picture was originally showing Tiger Woods holding a trophy with a background of the crowd. As you can see here, the picture now has enhanced color, and shows Tiger holding the world in his hands. This represents him being number one in the golf ranking system. The picture was changed to show how dominate Tiger Woods is at golf by representing him holding the world in his hands and the text saying that he is number one in the world again. He has been the number one golfer for many years and people can't seem to catch up to him. The manipulation wasn't harmful because it only is adding to the fact he is number one. The truth isn't being bent, but the truth is being exaggerated. Although it is being exaggerated, people can conclude that the picture is fake and from current reports Tiger Woods is the number one golfer.

Powerpoints

I liked Will P.'s PowerPoint about biology for many different reasons. One of the major reasons i liked his PowerPoint presentation was because his background corresponded to his topic. This helped establish a visual of what his interests were and helped to make the information he was providing easier to understand. Another reason i liked it was because it wasn't cluttered with text. This allowed for easy an easy read and allowed for me to listen to what he was explaining about his PowerPoint. Also, towards the end of the slide the use of music was appropriate for the pictures he was showing. This helped to draw the attention of the viewers and to get his point across about his topic of choice. Overall his PowerPoint was very good and he was able to illustrate what he wanted to do with the use of limited text.

The second PowerPoint I liked was Caroline A's. Her PowerPoint was very appealing in many ways. For one, her background was a theater which was appropriate because of her interest in drama. This visual helped to establish a feeling of the ambiance associated with that of a drama major. Also, she used multiple stacked picture and information in her presentation. This allowed the presentation to flow easily and not be cluttered. The stacking technique also gave her more space to provide more information and pictures in such a limited space. Her tips on the basics of drama were very interesting and could be useful if one was to enter that field of study. Another thing she did very well was her font choice. The choice of font also added to the feeling of her field of interest. The type of font was very appropriate for her slides because it showed a level of elegance, maybe of that you would expect to see on a title of a play. All in all, this was a very well done PowerPoint in many different ways and could be used as a model of what to do.
