[Reflection] Reflection on this semester

This semester, I've learned mainly 2 things.
1. Slide Design
2. Roles in group presentation.

 Slide Design:
 This semester, I've tried to challenge a new style of slide design ("new" meaning not following everything of the demonstration and the lessons given at class). I have tried my best to try to use more of "icon" based design, which I thought would be nice, theme wise.
 The first time I saw icon based presentation slides was a video archive of Facebook Keynote Presentation. I saw the beauty of having matched color schemes (in Facebooks case, it was blight blue, a color which is color-blind friendly). So, I took my time to get some inspirations of icon based presentation slide designs, and came upon a free to use icons to use. As a result, Kai and I have decided to create slides with matching color schemes, and as well as isometric icons I've found on the internet.

 Roles in group presentation:
 At the beginning of the year, we learned about different presentation types, like keynote and so on... Then, we were taught about the importance, or the meanings and the occasions of the presentations being held. Now, we have learned how a difference in the presentation type would effect how we talk, and how the visuals are different too. We were especially informed about the roles ("heart", "mouth" of the presentation) this semester.

  To sum things up, slide designs is something I will be using in the future the most, and I think I will stick with the isometric style, which I really liked.

[IDEAS] Two Types of Slide Designs

I believe that there are two types of designs for slideshows. The first design, is based on making each slide simple with images and minimum text. This method gives the viewers static image on what the speaker is talking about. The second design method I use is the "Material UI Design". Since it is a UI design, the whole design interacts to the users with geometrical and photographic elements animated and placed according to a layout. (the layout guidelines are set by Google). For example, if you were to tell a user about a new feature, this is what Material UI Design will solve the task: https://storage.googleapis.com/material-design/publish/material_v_12/assets/0B4kv-3uZbS1qQVhNbFlVdlNsOEE/engagement-featurediscovery-single-flow.mp4

[REFLECTION] Day 1 - Book Review Presentations

While listening to the classmates presentations, there were few things that I have realized.  First of all, most of the speakers voice was shaking. As a result, the listeners can easily detect if the speaker is nervous or not. To look confident about what I am saying on my presentation, I thought speaking clearly was important thing to keep in mind. Secondly, some text and images in presentation did not look very nice. The problem was the lack of blending colors, box elements and fixed layout. By blending the image background with the slide background (or removing all whitespace) will make the slide very clean and visually attractive. Also, by creating a box element as a background for the text will make the text more viewable and clear. Last of all, I thought that it was always important to link your "one last thing" with your book. Some people were stating the "One Last Thing" that had nothing to do with the book, but had something to do with either th...
