Description

This assignment was to create a Prezi presentation using https://prezi.com website. The presentation is to be an instructional presentation on a topic of our choosing.

PROCESS

This is the process that I used to come up with and create the presentation.

I thought about the various things that I could teach about in a fairly quick manner. The ideas I had were Welding, Replacing a car radiator, Ham Radio essentials, and Horses. At the start of the project I was planning on doing all these things on the Saturday at the start of the project. These would have all been easy for me to document. I decided on horses because it was the easiest to take the photos I was going to need to use.

On Saturday I took the most of the photographs that I used. I started with the mountain range that surrounds our valley and I picked one I liked. Then I went to my horse and since I had to move him from his corral temporarily, I decided to use him in the images. I had my daughter and grandson come out to the horse once I had him brushed and cleaned. The little boy at the beginning of the slides is my grandson. That image has a special significance for the family because that was the first time in 8 years that my horse has allowed someone under 4 feet tall to walk up to him and pet him without me holding him or being tied to a post.

The image with the three horses is one that was taken a couple of years ago during the middle of summer. The two horses on the left are no longer with us. The black one was rehabilitated and sent back to the ranch she came from. The small one was a real mustang horse. She passed away about 6 months after we took that photo.

• I picked out the images I was going to use and put them into one folder
• I cropped the images to remove all the extra stuff that was not relevant
• I re-saved all the images into a smaller pixel size from the originals so that they would load faster
• I opened prezi.com and uploaded the background
• I created all the frames I was going to need
• I uploaded all the photos into the frames
• I then started to move them around and arrange the order to the way it made more sense
• I then started to give each image a title/subtitle and description

CRITIQUE PROCESS

The critique process was as follows:

• Did my initial presentation and received critique from instructor
• Asked a couple of people I work with for their opinion and I did not get much help from them. Most people just do not know proper design techniques is what I am finding out.
• I posted a question on the class discussion board for some feedback because I was not getting any good feedback. I got some good feedback from two class members. Jacob Casel and Ryan Montgomery. Their feedback helped a lot.

MESSAGE

Basic info about Horses.

AUDIENCE

Human beings interested in learning about horses.

TOP THING LEARNED

Prezi can be hard to learn. Users need to either watch all the tutorials or not be afraid of making changes and learning what it can do. This is the first time I used it and I need to learn a lot more about it.

COLOR SCHEME & COLOR NAMES

I used White for all the text because of the darker backgrounds. I wish I could have used my own colors and not just the ones that they have.
