That phrase about "keeping it simple" is consistent through all of our articles. The fonts, clip art, and photographs are no different. Fonts should be soft on the eye, six to eight words per line, and follow the 24 karat rule. Clip art and photos should be relevant in order to support the presentation and have a dark/neutral background. The basic idea being that the audience is left with a good impression and not overstimulated with too many features.
Today's class on Photoshop gave me some direction about the fonts and types of adjustments I want to make to my photos. Playing with the brightness, contrast, saturation, and resolution was fascinating to me. I have a whole new respect for this feature.

You have no idea how much I agree. I spent too many countless hours in EDT 545 Redoing work because I did not KISS my work. even now as I start the work for this class I find myself slipping into some pretty bad habits. hopefully I do not spend hour redoing to much work!
Even though we are told/educated to "keep it simple", I still think a lot of people go overboard with the design of their presentations....too many colors, fonts, images, etc. I think Alice Christie's webisite is definitely a perfect model for all to follow. It's clean and classy!
"Kiss" me babe!!! That is great advice to take. A lot of people try too hard to make things colorful, eye catching, big font. People aren't going to want to look at your site, or your presentation if its overloaded with stuff.
