Slide 9

Things Im Looking For DesignTextAnimationsAudioVideo Your slide show uses a design that makes sense for your product. Think about: Background Colors Transitions Your text is limited and useful. Your font is easy to read. Obviously there are no spelling / grammatical errors The animations are not over done, just enough to add to your presentation without being a distraction. You have added your own narration to help sell your product. Imagine you are actually in the presentation, this is what you should be saying. The music you choose is simply for background effect. Important: do not simply read what is written on your slides This is where you can take your presentation from good to great. Your short video needs to add to your presentation and obviously be related to your product. Im okay with it not being the exact product (i.e. if you could only find a video for Chevy but you are promoting Dodge) IP10 Mr. Mellesmoen 2014
