Chapter 1

Review of chapter 1 from assigned reading.
At first, I never thought so much went into making a good Power Point.  I never thought that there was certain things to follow such as thinking about the color to put for the background, the color of font to attract people, font size, and appropriate pictures. After reading chapter 1 of our reading however, all these things to consider when making a PowerPoint make sense.  I think this chapter really helped me with a huge problem that I always had with PP which is font and background color.  I was the type to stick to templates because I did not want to put a background color that was to "loud" and distracting.  This book not only helped me determine which colors are good for background and font, I liked their easy to read chart on this, but they also helped me realize that I can't squeeze all that I want to say on a slide.
