Reflection
I chose to present my subject in a PowerPoint presentation because it almost feels like a proposal. It is a professional way to organize and present you opinion. For the title slide of my presentation I chose what to me, seemed like a shaky font for the title. I did this because since this is a controversial issue it is shaky and there to different sides to the issue. So the font is shaky portraying that you could go either way. The second slide of my presentation, labeled “Intro,” introduced to subject in short paragraph. For the background color I chose a light blue because the subject I am advocating is offshore drilling which occurs in the water. I also put in a photo of two people arguing from clip art since once again there are two sides to the argument. I also put in a photo which has a pun stating “Pain in the Gas.” This is because really the main reason that this issue has risen is because of the rising gas prices.
The next slide listing positive effects has a rainbow background because a rainbow is something which everyone can agree is upbeat. Not to mention that “effects” are the result of something, and a rainbow is something you would typically see after a storm. I then placed a photo of low gas prices because I mentioned in the paragraph that a positive effect is the lowering of gas prices. From clip art I chose an image of an oil rig with a worker nearby it; mainly to emphasize the new jobs created from offshore drilling. The next slide was presenting the negative effects. I put this slide directly after the positive effects to comply with the common method of “good news first, then the bad news.” I chose the background as black because of the common theme of death along with the clip art of the grim reaper. I then included pictures of animals to emphasize the effects on the environment; along with a picture of an oil spill.
When showing John McCain’s opinion I picked a font called chiller for the title because I don’t really agree with McCain. I also chose a photo of him hugging Bush because most people would agree that Bush is not a great president. The background was grey because I believe McCain’s ideas are dull. For Obama I chose a recycling emblem for the background and placed him in the middle of it to show that he is about creating a more environmental energy source.
When it came to my opinion I picked a font which to mean seemed to show strength to show that I am confident in my opinion. I also included an image of a panic button because I mention citizens panicking; then a scale to emphasize that the negative effects outweigh the positive effects.
