Visual Design III: Powerpoints

An attractive visual style can provide a huge boon to any presentation using Powerpoint slides. When presenting for courses, I strive to create focused yet aesthetically-pleasing formats. Here is a sampling of a few Powerpoint Presentations and their themes.

Romeo and Juliet/Cultural Capital (For a cultural studies/British Literature course, 2010); Of all the creative art I've done, this design ranks as one of my all-time favorites. The main art is a depiction of Romeo and Juliet's famous balcony scene, but viewed from within Juliet's chambers as she beacons Romeo inside. My professor and peers alike were very impressed with this work.

Collaborative Research Proposal Powerpoint (2010); For an English course, we were asked to create a proposal and presentation for Hamline's Collaborative Research program as a final project. My proposed project would compare modern action movies--many of which sees the hero utilizing a "suit"--to Renaissance British chivalry. That theme is present in this presentation, where the juxtaposition between sci-fi battle armor and medevial male comes to a head.
