The World of PowerPoint

For my PowerPoint presentation, I chose to do a short biography on the famous news journalist and broadcaster Walter Cronkite. Since I am a Communication major and I am the News Director for Tiger TV's Newswave, I am very interested in how the news world is run, however, I realized that the news is not everyone else's interest. I decided to do the project on Cronkite because he is still well-known and changed the way Americans view television and made watching the news an intellectual experience.
Through this project, the best thing I learned was how to better use transitions. Good transitions help the PowerPoint progress smoothly. I think I used transitions pretty well and had nice graphics, but if I were to do this project again, I would add either a video or audio clip. Overall, I enjoyed this project and will use my knowledge to make professional PowerPoint presentations in the future.
My two favorite PowerPoint presentations were Leslie Green and Tommie Ethington's. They both had great colorful and professional looking designs, as well as great use of transitions. They also made their topics interesting and you could see their passion.
