Lab exercise.
In this lab you will be creating a Pecha Kucha-style slide show. Using a pre-furnished set of images you’re asked to assemble them into a slide show of ten slides that last for a duration of twenty seconds each. Challenge yourself in this exercise. Consider playing around with text and transitions, repetitions, fragments, montages. Below are links to different tutorials. Take the time to read through the tutorial descriptions and summaries and self-select the sections appropriate to your level of familiarity with the software. We’re primarily working with Powerpoint here but I’ve also included links to some basic photoshop tutorials.
