nope this will tho

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

aight maybe this works

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

Changed a few things about this slide (new background, picture borders, bold headings), is this well designed? Should I still change the heading font, or is this enough contrast the way it is? New slide is on the right #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@DavidWaskiewic1 It's tough when the audience can be very unspecified, so I'm glad you left it open but highlighted key users. Well done! #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@alyssamancusoPR It's definitely based on amount of likes and follows, but confusing still. Doesn't line up with the numbers or 'podium' design, I'd modify that by either going with a straight or podium design and no numbers #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@7MissAdams Another slide with examples could describe it nicely, but I think you're on the right track. Love the color scheme! #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@MrHeisler I think that's a pretty good layout, having each point lined up is helpful. Maybe put a box around each section or change font colors to differentiate better? Try it out if you want #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@Zander51486625 I think it's self explanatory, although I'm not sure you need the difference line. I can pick up on the difference from the other two lines alone, and the other is just clutter. Nice data display! #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@lizwardwell_318 The arrows work well, it's clear what each one is pointing to. Very effective for directly identifying each element with a visual! #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@lizwardwell_318 I will darken the background a bit. Great call on font sizes, I hadn't even thought about that! It's so much clearer to read now that I'm adding that distinction #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

Can you read the words on this slide? I can darken the background more to contrast from the writing, but if this works then I'll keep it. #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

Is the design on this slide too basic? All the slides in this section are designed like this, but I'm wondering if the background needs to be changed to another gray or something to add more #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@wanli_w Keeping it simple is great for the table of contents. That's a spot you want to be clear and concise, so this is the best place for a simple design like this. #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@DavidWaskiewic1 Nice, designing the content like the actual creator does helps me understand them a little more. It's another layer of explanation! #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@ask_justwhy @BenjaminLacher Definitely better! I still think you could design it a little more with some of the excel tools, but this is a huge step! #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@GWufei Great idea, for a topic people may not be familiar with the intro is critical. #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

@SarahTroutman9 Very nice display of data! Love the 3D method, definitely showcases the important points! #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

I believe my PowerPoint usage would appeal to other Yankees writers. They all create well designed content with very structured articles and videos, and my design is very similar to that. Strong headings and similar slide design match their strategy #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

An element from my guide is highlighting the difference between normal coverage and 'pandemic coverage'. All the accounts I am researching changed their content strategy, so clearly I need to write about something else too #engl318mu

[James Landis @WebWriterJim1]

To make my data more meaningful, I compared the year referenced in tweets and articles. This year's data is very spread out from 1913-2020, but only ONE of the 324 total articles from last year wasn't about 2019. Should I graph it, or just state that? #engl318mu
