I revised my presentation by changing the background color and font. I realized that I had done exactly what chapter 1 of They Snooze, You Lose had explained not to do. I had completed my whole presentation in black and white. I changed to words on the slides. I tried to include only vital information without losing content.

Chapter 4: Ringing CHIMES

Ringing CHIMES discusses ways in which to make presentations interesting and memorable.  CHIMES is an acronym for connections, humor, images, music, emotion, stories, and senses.  I found the chapter very interesting and helpful.  It outlines ways to improve a presentation that I had never really thought about.  I know humor is always necessary and helpful, but I never realized how important it was to access other senses.  I especially liked when the author discusses how one how one should attract not distract.  When I think of making a presentation memorable and interesting it always veers in the direction of distraction.  I know understand that I must keep the author's words in mind and keep not distract. I found many things in this chapter useful.  Eventhough the author is not fond of acronyms, I find them very helpful in remembering new information.  My goal is to remember this when I'm presenting new information.

Chapter 1: Tweaking Presentations

Chapter 1 of They Snooze, You Lose by Lynell Burmark discusses ways to improve upon powerpoint presentations.  I found this chapter very useful and informative.  I especially liked how reader-friendly it is.  I can see how easily and quickly I can improve upon my powerpoint presentations.  The chapter specifically refers to template, color, and type.  Templates are generally not ideal in powerpoint presentations because they take creativity away from the creator of the presentation.  Color is also very important in the creation of powerpoint presentations.  Color can draw the eye and evoke feelings and emotions.  Color can be used to create a presentation which automatically draws the readers/presentees eyes to specific information.  Type can also "make or break" a presentation by making it legible from any distance and creating an emphasis where needed.  Though, capital letters are believed to be most useful in helping a reader to remember information.  Recalling information is more likely when lowercase letters are used.
