Blog Post #8
Today we got introduced to using keynote presentation. We first viewed a short video clip that explained a brief introduction to using this new tool. I thought it was quite helpful and grasp a general idea of the system. Rab first allowed to us play around with the Themes and Masters system. It was interesting to view all the different formats that were available! The options seemed endless. Next, I also learned that the system even tells me where the center of the slide is. I think this is a helpful tool because I often have trouble figuring out where to center out my texts. Rab also told us a website called dafont.com to see a whole range of different fonts if we cannot find any fonts that we like from the keynote system (although this is very unlikely because there are plenty of options). The tool that I enjoyed using the most was the "alpha" though. I always had trouble with images that had white background and being unable to use it in my presentation slides. Next, we also got to experiment with charts and graphs. I have not got much experience with making graphs so I had a little trouble with this section. However, I was impressed with all the settings that were available. In addition to all the mentioned applications, we learned how to use transitions, upload videos, and many more. There are almost too many things to remember that I am afraid I am going to forget some of them!
Overall, I found this lecture to be very useful because I will be able to use this system in the future. I personally think that keynote presentation is much better than google because it provides a lot more opportunities and options to be unique with the slideshows.
