Rain's I Have a Dream Presentation

http://www.fotopedia.com/items/flickr-1415835342

I'm totally not late
1. The big message of the speech was racial equality; that beneath everyone's skin, no matter what colour, everyone was made equal, and should be treated so. Everyone deserves to be accepted, respected, and given rights and freedoms.
The slide/part of the speech that I found really important was "I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the colour of their skin but by the content of their character." because imagining four small, innocent children that have hopes to one day be accepted for what they hold inside, rather than be judged by their race, touched me. These children of his represent the future, and represent hope to him as a father.
2. I played with the size, colours, spacing between letters, spacing between lines, and tried all sorts of creative ways to place words to make my slides look interesting.
3. Since I plan to become an artist in the future, I'll definitely be using fonts creatively to create art that will, I hope, have impacting messages with eye catching typography. Also to use for school projects.
4. The most difficult part for me was that it was just so tedious having to put in the words to the ENTIRE speech and fix them up slide after slide after slide. 
5. If I remember, I just went to file, save & send, and had it converted into a video. I had the help of people around, but you can't always rely on others. When in doubt, google it.
6. I would change this assignment by making some slides more unique and bold. I felt like at some point the slides got really repetitive and dull.

Katie's I have a dream: Martin Luther King Jr.

http://rolexblog.blogspot.ca/2009/01/martin-luther-king-jr-day-in-usa.html

1. The message in Martin Luther King's speech was that everyone has freedom and that everyone is equal and that they should not judged by their skin but by personality. I think the slide which was the most important to me was "From every mountainside, let freedom ring" because it shows how they will finally get their freedom and show the world the difference it can make for the better.

2. The creative fonts that I presented were from the 5 tips of typography including the choice of font, spacing of the lines, different colors, contrast and sizing. Also making sure that the important words were very noticeable.

3. I will use the fonts creatively in the future for assignments involving powerpoints, or for just graphic work.

 4. The most difficult part was the audio because i tried over 3 times redoing the audio until it finally worked.

5. To convert a PPT to a WMV simply save it but instead of JPEG save it as WMV.

6. I wouldn't really change anything because it was quite fun creating the fonts and different styles, probably just do a shorter speech next time.

Perry Robles's I Have a Dream MLK

http://images.cdn.fotopedia.com/flickr-1054179588-hd.jpg

Reflection:

1. The message in Martin Luther Kings speech was to let black people all over the United States to be free. He wanted for everyone to live together and have the same opportunities, not just for the blacks but for everyone. The one slide that was important to me was the second last slide, when he says "Free at last! Free at last!"
2.  The creative uses of fonts I used in my presentation were change in font, size, color, spacing and contrast.
3. I will use fonts creatively in the future when I have to do another PowerPoint sort of like this one in my classes in the future.
4. The most difficult part in the process of making this PowerPoint was recording the animations because if you made a mistake you would have to restart all the way in the beginning, which i had to do like over ten times.
5. I converted the PPT into a WMV by saving the PPT into a movie then uploading it onto YouTube which was way faster, I advise you to use a Mac for this type of project.
6. I would change it by maybe only doing a little bit of the speech, because it was pretty long, or a smaller speech.

Kamilah's I Have A Dream - Martin Luther King Jr.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martin_Luther_King,_Jr.

Reflections:

1. The message in MLK's speech is about all the segregation, prejudice and racism that is happening. It was his dream for everyone to be equal and to be free from all racial injustice. He wanted everyone to treat each other the same and not judge people by their race or the color of their skin. For me the most important slide was - "I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi, a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice."

2. The creative use of fonts in my presentation are the choice of font, text size, contrast, line spacing and colors. I made sure that the important words stood out in every slide. 

3. I plan to use what I learned in this assignment for any other presentations that I will do in the future. I will make sure that my presentation will keep the audience engaged and not be bored. I will also use the 5 tips for better typography to improve my presentation.

4. For me, the most difficult part was breaking down the speech into different slides because it was very time consuming. I also had difficulties when we have to convert the power point into a wmv because it takes so long to load. Another part where I had difficulties was that I have to change some of the fonts and sizes of the text when I work on my power point at school because I have a different version of power point at home and because of that some of the text in the slides didn't show up.

5. In order to convert my power point into a wmv I clicked file and then save as and chose the wmv instead of jpeg and then I uploaded it to YouTube. It was easy to convert but it takes a really long time.

6. In my opinion I wouldn't really change this assignment because to be honest it was fun to play around with the fonts and I really enjoyed it but it takes a lot of time to finish this and a lot of effort. I just wish that the programs we used were much faster.

Gem Magnaye's MLK Speech

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Martin_Luther_King_-_March_on_Washington.jpg



1. The message that Martin Luther King was trying to get across was freedom. Allowing black Americans to be free. He wanted everyone to live in a world as one, with the same rights and opportunities. 

2. The changes I made on my presentation were font, size, color, size and contrast.

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future if I am trying to create a PowerPoint or an assignment similar to this one.

4. The most difficult part of this assignment was making sure that every time I converted the presentation to a movie that it would have the audio with it. 

5. I converted my PowerPoint into a WMV file by clicking "file" which is at the top, going down to "save&send", then "create a movie", and then clicked "create."

6. I thought this speech was a really long speech and I thought it would take a long time to finish, so I would've chosen a smaller speech or re-create a part of the speech but overall it was a fun project.

Vina's I Have a Dream speech - MLK

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strength_to_Love

 

Reflection:

1. The message in MLK's speech is that everyone should be free and be treated equally. No one should judge or treat others bad because of the colour of their skin or religion. My favourite slide that I created was "We cannot turn back." 

2. The creative uses of fonts in my presentation were based on the '5 tips for better typography'. 

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future when I do any projects or presentations. 

4. The most difficult part of the process for me, was figuring out what was important in each slide, and trying to make each slide different. 

5. It's pretty simple! Press: File -> Save & Send -> Create a video -> Create a video (on the right hand side)

6. I wouldn't change anything about this project. It was fun learning about fonts, and the 'I Have a Dream' speech all at the same time!

Da Silva's MLK Speech

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/8/81/Martin_Luther_King_-_March_on_Washington.jpg

-No Sound


Reflection:

1. The message in MLK's speech is to make freedom and justice a reality, to stop all racism that's happening in this world, and to believe and dream that one day everyone will be free, everyone will get the freedom they deserve. Of the many slides that I have created, the one I think is the most important is when MLK is explaining his dreams and then he says that with this faith, they can work together, pray together, struggle together, jail together, freedom together, and hopefully one day, to be FREE.

2. The creative uses of font that I did in my presentation was I used the 5 tips for better typography which is to changing the font, change the text size when needed, text contrast for example, making some words bold, also changed character and line spacing and the text color.

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future if I may have to do another presentation or an assignment similar to this one.

4. The most difficult part was actually reading the information I had in each slide and either changing the font of words, bolding words that I thought were important, or changing the color of words. Took me at least a month to finish.

5. I converted a PPT into a WMV file by going into powerpoint, clicking "file" which is at the top, going down to "save&send", then "create a movie", and then clicked "create."

6. I might've just choosen a smaller speech so it wouldn't take as long as it took us to finish, but otherwise, it was a good project.

Reflection:

1. What is the Message in MLK's speech.  Which slide of the many that you created was most important to you

The Message in MLK's speech was strongly telling us how in the past that all black people got discriminated. Even other religion, race, and other background people. And the faith that we will be free one day from racism. Also a dream of freedom that everyone should be treated equally. The slide I picked would be "And so even though we face the difficulties of to day and tomorrow, I still have a dream." This seem important to me because its like saying even though you faced hard challenges, you'll eventually succeed. To be honest all slide would be important.

2. What are the creative uses of fonts in your presentation?

The creative uses of fonts on my presentation was honestly making one word or more in each slide or an important word to stand out because one important word from a slide means its really important to understand whats happening in his speech. I also spaced some words, and added color so it could standout. Also make the fonts different and enlarge as well. 

3. How will you use fonts creatively in the future?

Of course I will use fonts creatively in the future because I find it more exciting to read and the appearance would look nice, but more importantly how the fonts are important. 

4. What was the most difficult part of this process of making a movie from PPT

The most difficult part was probably making my ppt into a movie because I was really confused at first but then I did some research so im familiar with it now. And also there were parts in the speech of the presentation hard for me to make the typography more understandable and creative.

4. Create a user guide for future students.  How did you end up converting a PPT of WMV?

Step 1. First of all when you finish your slide show, make sure you do finishing touches.

Step 2. Next you can go file save as and for the file type it should be "wmv". You can find it below your file name and it has a bottom arrow and you scroll down until you see it. Click it and it should have a window popup, so just click "yes".

Step 3. Wait until the movie is rendering

Step 4. That's all you do and go ahead and upload it anywhere you like, but make sure its saved.

5. How would you change this assignment next year.
I like to change this assignment by making my fonts not to colorful because it was bothering me a lot, so I wish to change a typography like that.

I Have A Dream Speech by Martin Luther King Jr

http://www.tutufoundationusa.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/01/dr-martin-luther-king-1.jpg

Reflection:

1. The message in Martin Luther King's speech is about the equality of rights for both black and white men in America. Martin along with his people are appealing to the rest of America for freedom. He believes that this is the time for segregation, prejudice, racism, stereotypes and more to end. It is about his and his people's dream, the dream that will come true.

Honestly all slides were pretty important to me but the most important one was the slide where Martin said "I have a dream that one day this nation will rise up and live out the true meaning of its creed: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal."

2. The creative uses of fonts in my presentation is that I was using fonts that goes with the words. Also I used the spacing of the words and the colour too to emphasize and make the word interesting. Overall I think I did all of the things I needed to do in my presentation.

3. I will use fonts creatively in the future if we ever had to do powerpoint presentations again and just like this one, I will do the same and use the tips but in a better way. I will do these in presentations to make it more interesting and not make anyone bored out of it. 

4. The most difficult part of this process of making a movie from PPT is making the slides. It was pretty hard since sometimes I would run out of ideas for how to make my slides look interesting. Also I had a really hard time trying to look for how to convert the powerpoint into a movie. Though overall it was pretty fun.

5. I ended up converting the PPT to a WMV by the help of the people around me. Well first I tried to search it in Google but I couldn't find it since my computer was a mac so it was different a bit. Then Mr. Harbeck helped me, so that is how I got over it. (The steps were *if I remember it correctly :P* go to file then there you will see save&send and in there you will see convert to a video)

6. I wouldn't really change this assignment because it was really fun and interesting to know about this speech.

Roselle's I have dream -Martin Luther King

The message in MLK's speech is that we are all free in this world and no one deserves to be treated poorly becuase we were all born equal... The most important slide to me was probably the 6th slide because the message was really nice and i like how i set up the fonts and layouts.

2. the creative uses of fonts was putting effects into them and where to place them and actually figuring out what font looks good with the others...

3.I think in the future I will always now know how to use nice fonts and make a good presentation because this assignment helped a lot with it and let me explored new things with it.

4.The most difficult was timing the audio in with the slides because it took me long to do that part but as soon as i was done the rest were easy

5.firstly you save your powerpoint into a Jpeg then there's going to be a window that pops up and click everyslide.. After open a windows movie maker and upload your audio and your pictures (powerpoint slides) the slides are all pictures now and this will allow you to put them in seperately. Then just time it and save... :)

6. I dont actually know what to change but it took a really long time to do, so maybe a shorter speech but overall it was nice to explore on learning how to create a good presentation..

Emerald's I Have A Dream - Martin Luther King Jr.

1. I believe that the message in MLK's speech is to acknowledge racial inequality, and to try and get people to change the way they act or think towards people of a different race. The slide that was most important to me was the slide about allowing freedom to ring, and with that it would speed up the day to when everyone of every race and religion are able to accept each other, holding hands singing that they're, "Free at last."
2. The creative uses of fonts in my presentation was most of the time changing the color, font, or size to emphasize certain words or phrases that are important in the speech. I also played with the spacing a lot to add contrast and uniqueness to my presentation.
3. I'll use fonts creatively in the future for school and work, to bring the audience's attention to the important points in my presentation. 
4. The most difficult part of using powerpoint in this project was the fact that I had to send it to myself back and fourth from school and from home. The fonts I used at home would be different from what I used at school, and vice versa. I would have to change them again, which took up a lot of time as well. 
5. I converted my powerpoint to a WMV using Windows Movie Maker, since I didn't have the 2010 version of Powerpoint and couldn't do it straight from the presentation. I had to save my slides as pictures and I had to insert all the pictures into Windows Movie Maker, as well as the audio. I adjusted the amount of time the slides would show so it would go with what he was saying in the speech. Then I just saved my movie, and uploaded it to Youtube. 
6. I would change this assignment, and make it less time-consuming but other than that the whole thing was pretty straight-forward and I didn't really have problems knowing what I'm supposed to do.

Tran's "I Have A Dream" - Martin Luther King Jr speech

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Martin_Luther_King,_Jr._speaking_at_the_Civil_Rights_Marc.jpg

s

1. The message in MLK's speech was that there should be equality for all god's children. Religion, culture, or the color of your skin shouldn't be a factor on how you treat someone. The most important slide to me was when he starts saying " I have a dream" and states all these dreams of his. 

2. I used all 5 ways of using creative fonts whether that was spacing, to move the letters closer to each other or further apart. Color and size, to emphasize what was more important and to make it stand out. I also used different types of fonts and changed the fonts in certain words to make it also stand out. The last thing I also did was put some words in bold or all capital. 

3. I will probably use this in the future if I ever need to make a powerpoint for one of my classes. I will make it look very nice and interesting to keep my fellow classmates interested. 

4. There was nothing really difficult, just really time consuming and frustrating because I just want to get it done and over with but definitely putting the audio in was difficult especially when you're in 13 minutes and mess up and have to start ALL OVER again.. which I did about 10 times.  

5. What I did to convert a powerpoint into a video was first nag Harbeck which didn't work, then asked Allysa but she couldn't tell me so I used my bestfriend GOOGLE and found this website where it shows you step by step. Heres the link. It was very helpful. 

6. What I would change for this assignment next year is for this to be a partnered assignment where one partner does the first half of the speech and the other does the second half so its not so time consuming. Otherwise than that it was easy, just very frustrating. 

okay bye(:

I Have A Dream: Martin Luther King

http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Martin_Luther_King,_Jr..jpg

Reflection:
1) The message in MLK's speech is to grant and accept racial equality. The slide that was most important to me is the part where he us talking about the faith and that with it, they could work together, knowing that they will be free one day.
2) The creative uses of font that I did in this presentation was choosing the right font to go with the whole thing and what he was saying. Another is when I made certain words bigger or smaller and added colour to them to emphasize the most important words. I also played with the spacing in some slides and combined colours, fonts and sizes to display contrast.
3) I will use this advantage and knowledge of using fonts creatively when I need to do a power point for either work or school, and be able to get a good response from the audience.
4) The most difficult part of this process was editing the fonts and the colours because it was pretty time consuming, to say the least.
5) I ended up converting this a different way than we were supposed to because I had to have the 2010 version but instead I have the 2007 one at home. What I did was, I saved the power point slides as images (jpeg) and put them into movie maker. I then added the audio and started to adjust the time of each picture so it was in sync with it. After I was done, I just published it after it finished converting.
6) I guess I wouldn't really change the assignment because it was pretty easy overall even if it's time consuming.
