PowerPoint Presentation Reviews

My favorite PowerPoint presentations were those belonging to Travis Halff and Moira Allen. Halff used humor to his advantage while utilizing animation to nicely emphasize his point. Halff's slideshow background was simplistic which allowed for all attention to go to his lively graphics and slide transitions. The use of animation in this presentation was great and kept the crowd interested. Although his content wasn't intellectually deep, his thoughtful design and product choice captured the class' attention and made me want to immediately order a Shake Weight. Oh, and I throughly enjoyed the Rory Davidson accent that Halff used while presenting. Moira Allen's presentation was delightful. I really appreciated the Indiana Jones theme that was made constant throughout the presentation. The font, background, and taglines all complemented one another nicely. I thought that Allen's technique was captivating and entertaining. Although the font was hard to read at times because the orange blended into the background of dirt, her enthusiasm kept the presentation My favorite part of it all was when m demonstrated how musuem curation affects us in San Antonio. Furthermore, after she was done, I wanted to immediately take a trip to the McNay! Nice work, presentation and creativity Moira and Travis!
