The First Link Visual Explanation

My pictures were the first component. These are the only pictures I have from my

accident so I had to find a way to get my point across using only these images. Next, I made my

color choices. I looked online to find out which colors evoked which emotions. Yellow was

my first choice. It means courage. I did not feel all that courageous at the time, but looking back

I must have been. Second, I chose blue. Blue means loyalty and deep feeling. These emotions

were more how my family felt. I was having trouble figuring out a way to tell my story solely

through these pictures. I tried to create suspense by not showing the pictures of my leg in the

first slide. It would have been better to include a picture of my graduation or my family and me

while I was recovering. Unfortunately, I don’t have either one of these so I worked with what I

had. I decided to reiterate the fears from my last paragraph. I included some of the other key

points, as well. Hopefully, I made my point.
