Mr. M. made extensive use of SnapZPro  (the screen recording software $100)

Practice what you preach


Mr. M.'s advise to you...

1. Enter contests - they will TEACH you a lot, more than you know
2. SHOW your work to a community - even if they are critical of your work... that more than anything at college will help you improve

Topic #1 - PowerPoint Tips

• launch MS PowerPoint in Windows
• open your "What I learned in MM 126" Document
• Follow Mr. M. Demo - write down tips
  

Tips:
- consider your OWN theme... you can do that with Slide Master, or just BLACK and add images
- standard themes tend to be overused, tired and boring
- it would be disappointing if any MM Graduate gave a presentation using standard themes.
- format painter
- Slide Master
- use slide master for LOGO, and to change fonts - DEMO
- save as (web page)
- add a transition
- have title then bullets come up.
(never over-use effects - you think you are being a "pro" - but you are conveying the opposite message)
- add your own points you discover

Important Notes:

- Mr. M. isn't teaching or trying to teach you photography... Gail and Frank know far more than Mr. M.
- Frank is teaching Mr. M. about photography - why? - Video on Net.
- Mr. M. has spent last year, and most of summer, learning, not ADVANCE photography, but the most basic of things.
   Say it takes 5 years to really learn photography to a PRO level  - so spending ONE year on basics and fundamentals doesn't seem too bad, does it?
- there is no sense learning advanced photography, photoshop *your digital darkroom*, without the basics first.

Assignment:
