Music Powerpoint Design Rationale

My Music Powerpoint is based on the band Nightwish.


What I liked most in my Powerpoint was the background. The purple and little white went well with the band's mood and music style and I loved the color. The white words also went well with the background as well as the light purple that changed the white words after the respected time frame. I also liked the transitions that entered the pictures and words. They were really cool and made the Powerpoint flow. The transition of hiding the phrase after reading it went well because the white text changed to light purple and matched my background. It was still readable but did not command the full attention.

  • I also liked the music that I edited. I took me only 1 hour (or less) to completely make a 1 minute song out of a 4 minute song. My song, "Amaranth," had mostly instrumental in the beginning and lyrics afterwards. So I took the beginning of the song and the absolute end of the song to make it 1 minute. My band is not only about the lyrics, but it is also about the music. That is one of the reasons why I like Nightwish.

What I found difficult with my Powerpoint was the hyperlink. I never knew how to do a hyperlink. I had tried many ways to make my sources into a hyperlink, but I could not find a way. On the last slide, I used my pictures and the sources I used as sources.

  • Besides my hyperlinks, I found that finding interesting information for my band was hard because I did not know what was interesting to college students. Sure I could find a lot of information on my band, but it was hard to identify which information was good or bad. In the end, I picked the information that I thought was good and used it in the presentation. As the due date became closer, I did not care what other people thought about what they read.
