For me, the paramount key concept is ethos. I find myself always considering that when crafting my content. #engl318mu

My plan is to record my audio through Quicktime, and pair that with a screen recording of my presentation that will be conducted at the same time. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@ZacharyShaffe16 I don't think so! It's clear, and it stands out amongst the rest of the content. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@lea_web We all do! Funny enough, it's because when we hear our voice normally when speaking, it's being distorted because of the extra bass we get from the vibrations of our vocal chords. In recordings, the sound is more accurate, but less familiar. #engl318mu

@Alexis27228278 I think the title page is a bit standard, I would change your typography a bit so that it becomes more striking. Look at some of the other fonts in your arsenal and don't be afraid to enlarge scale! #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@JoannaBarninge1 We did ours through Illustrator and that worked out well for us, also! It allows for a lot of adjustability. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@rjhicks20 The only thing I can add is that your content is broken up beautifully and nothing becomes overbearing or complex when it comes to reading and understanding. I might, however, left-align your "LOHF's inclusion of..." section. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@Alexis27228278 I might utilize a small caption with a different font and color for areas like your graph, just to outline dedicated information pertaining to that visual element. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@KatieWe53788347 If you add their logo, larger type, and maybe an all caps title, that would be much more dynamic. Additionally, the author name could certainly be moved down closer to the bottom to give the title more space. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@Mikie53585867 This does flow better! However, I would give your titles a more strong font choice, and then I would give some more space between your title and body. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@stephengl318mu Yup! Powerpoint presentations have gotten a lot of flak over the years for exactly that. (See: the Pentagon's slideshows). #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@bmutt46 The colors look good! I wonder what the content would look like with a sans-serif font instead, though. It could ease readability and not look as "standard". #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

Imagery can be very helpful in your work, but it has to complement the content, not simply reiterate a previous point or be redundant. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@lilsalami18 I'm with Zach on this one. Bigger text, as well as using white on pink graphics/text would create better contrast and more striking imagery! #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

What's a good way to maintain breathing room when laying out text and copy? I find that too often, a page is filled edge to edge with text, and reading it feels like a chore. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

My individual revision plan will be just to reexamine my work from the perspective of someone who doesn't know the material and prompt. Does it make sense? Is it laid out in a way that makes sense for my reading? #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@stephengl318mu I'm personally a big fan of Archivo Black and Anton in regards to bold, attention-grabbing fonts. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@rjhicks20 I'm not sure about adding the table of contents, but I will say that your content is very nicely organized! I also appreciate that there isn't too much text on one page. #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

@stephengl318mu Instead of just using type, how about creating an image/logo/illustration of sorts? It would grab attention and differentiate from the rest! #engl318mu

[Haakon @4aak0n]

For our team, what will really fuel our revision plan is listening to feedback and really making sure that our content comes across the way we intended. If the feedback doesn't reflect that, we will adjust accordingly. #engl318mu
