Graphics To Be Modified

• Primarily
• Graphics will be modified to have visual clarity
  by changing the color and adding uniformity or
  consistency of the use of color in the
  presentation.
• Secondary
• Graphics will be modified by adding to the
  content and/or taking away some of the content
  that will make the image more specific to the
  need of the presentation.

Banking Services Savings Accounts

• Graphic Modifications
• Using PowerPoint, I used the Picture Toolbar to
  recolor the image to black and white. The black
  and white contrasts with the background of the
  PowerPoint lecture. I also re-sized the picture
  to a larger size and checked the lock-ratio, so
  that if the image needs to be re-sized later, it
  will maintain the clarity that I want it to have.

Banking Services Checking Accounts

• Graphic Modifications
• Using PowerPoint, I used the Picture Toolbar
  Edit the Picture by converting it to a MS Office
  Drawing Object so that each element in the
  picture could be edited. I chose to recolor the
  image using the colors, black, white, red and
  blue. The black and white contrasts with the
  background of the PowerPoint lecture. The red
  carries through from the use of the red pen (the
  only object that stayed the same) to the red ink
  on the check which draws attention to the check
  itself. I also re-colored the sleeve in the
  picture to blue to keep uniformity within the
  presentation. I also re-sized the picture to a
  larger size and checked the lock-ratio, so that
  if the image needs to be re-sized later, it will
  maintain the clarity that I want it to have. The
  image was also compressed.

• Graphic Modifications
• This image is a bitmap (bmp) and can only be
  edited using another image editor, such as MS
  Paint or MS Picture IT. I used MS Picture IT to
  change the color of the image to black and white
  and to add an edge in a blue to add a contrasting
  color to the presentation. I also added text to
  the image stating what the image is representing
  concerning the placement of the hands on the
  keyboard. I then saved the image as a GIF file
  and inserted it into the PowerPoint.

Summary

• Each graphic was modified to obtain a consistent
  use of color throughout the presentation and in
  some instances to pinpoint exact examples, such
  as Home Row Keys on slide 6.
• Each graphic presented will be used in classroom
  instruction by using PowerPoint software for
  instruction and/or the creation of handouts or
  transparencies to be used in class activities.
