Day 3 of Home Project Presentation

Matt
I like your text with the addition of the audio. I think the music was a very unique touch, and it worked well for your project. The music brings feeling into the text, the music sort of cushions the feeling we are supposed to obtain from your text. It's like a sad movie scene, the music of the scene makes it 100x sadder... your music made your project 100x more meaningful. Aside from the music I'd like to see a little more debt in your text to really bring the point home. Your pictures were great, but the text really needs to show us what you mean, not tell us. I'd like to see you work on your church slide. I felt the picture and the text didn't correlate to each other. You spoke a lot about the anticipation and the audience, perhaps you can show a crowd of people in the picture. Great Job!

Jen
I really like the individuality of your main page. It's something no one did, so it's good your thinking out of the box. Like I said in class.. you speak a lot about how home is what YOU make it as a person, home is not a "specific" place but rather where you find happiness, comfort, or what "you" make it. The picture you took of you pointing to yourself is taken in an actual home which is you get my point kind of contradicts what your really unique point of home is. Perhaps a shot of you outside with a road (to represent travel), or a sky behind you might depict your point of home better. I like the picture of your apartment with the roof cropped, it was a great idea... this picture represents your Home perspective to the fullest that home has no boundaries and that your can expand your home and there are no limits to what might be considered home. I really enjoyed your project!

Safia
The opening picture is a great way to represent yourself because it has Safia written in colorful text, these colors could represent a different side of you while all connected by the drip marks. This could represent that there might be different sides (or colors) to you but they are all connect by something (the drip marks) this picture has a lot of potential of being a profound representation of your project. If you do not like this suggestion and that picture strictly reminds you of your sisters love admiration toward you, then I would also suggest that the picture should include more elements in it like your sister handing you the picture, or something other than "only" the picture because it's obvious it's "more" than a picture to you. Either way I would revise your text or picture in the opening slide. I love when you associated each color of your heritage flag to a certain memory, that was a really good way of bringing something general (like the flag) to something abstract and personal. Good Job!

Eddie
I love your graphics design on word... very stylish! I loved how you incorporated the multilingual words. By doing so it really represented the "here" and "there" part of the project. Though you feel home can be here or there, the one thing that connects the two end points is your family and that's really sweet way of viewing home. Your family seems like it bridges that gap between "here" and "there." The only thing is that your text needs to be a little more personal. My suggestion is to ask questions to the audience through out your text, this really captures the audience and helps them think of their home as well as yours. Wonderful job!
