Amazing SlideShows (:

SlideShow 1

Extreme Hair
http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/08/12/fashion/20090813-hair-slideshow_index.html

1. What was effective about the presentation

It was effective because it proves to people that you really can do anything you want with your hair, anything at all. This is how some people express themselves, through their hair style and color.

2. What multimedia was used?

Graphics and text. The text explained the insanity of these mind blowing graphics. The graphic that I chose to post was the one I thought was the most dynamic and head turning.

3. What did you want to know more about?

I would like to know how these people got the idea to cut their hair like this. Like how did they get the idea of this cut to tell the hairdresser? Who or what inspired them to actually WANT something like this? I'm thinking that maybe these might be this guy's favorite color, or maybe he just wanted attention (the same attention that kokleong yearns for) (:

4. What emotions did the images evoke.

Amazment. It just amazing to think that people would actually WANT their hair to look like this.It just amazes me to think that they are proud to say hey look, this is me! And that they could be happy to wake up and look in the mirror and see this, and not want to do anything about it.

5. How could you use multimedia slides shows in any class? When everyone else is doing powerpoints, and Imovies and posters, you could do something like this, different and unique. In class when everyone is presenting their creations, it gets pretty boring to watch powerpoint after powerpoint after powerpoint.

SlideShow 2

The Plastic Sandal Reborn

http://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/08/17/style/global/20090817-iht-shoes-slideshow_index.html

1. What was effective about the presentation

It was effictive because now, you can make really funky and cool shoes just out of plastic. Now insted of just having yucky crocs, there is now more fashionable shoes out of plastic. Plastic is so convinent, if you get marks or watever on them, there very easy to clean. And when you go walking or hiking, if you dont have sneakers, if the soles of the shoes are stable, then they wont b slippery.

2. What multimedia was used?

Pictures and text. The text supported the graphics, and explained about each model of shoe. It told about what brand made the shoe, and just in genral about the model.

3. What did you want to know more about?

Personally I would like to see them making the shoes, like how they do it. I would also like to see if people actually bought and wore these shoes. They look and sound very good, and they look like they would be very good quality, but are they actually as good as they look?

4. What emotions did the images evoke.

Happiness, that there is now something cool and funky, thats plastic so its very easy to wash, and still quite comfortable. Shoe-a-holics would be overjoyed that something as great as this actually exists now.

5. How could you use multimedia slides shows in any class?
