Kevin, As far as the format of the presentation goes, it could use some stylistic adjustment. There could be a better contrast between font and background color, so as to better emphasize the text, especially when there is just one word on the slide. Also, try another font--not all text should be in caps or small caps, it just makes the text appear to be yelling at the audience. Use caps sparingly and with reasonable intentions. Lessig uses mostly lower case and even internet slang like: "u" instead of "you." If you want a more digital-oriented font, try Lucida Console or Lucida Bright. If you just want to get the point across with a sans-serif font, try Futura, which also looks really nice in caps and small caps. Also, can you get some higher resolution screenshots and graphics? Clarity and legibility of images is critical and more professional/serious. Last thing, maybe try (after you've finished editing and changing the fonts however you choose), formating the "offline" to fall directly on top of the "o" in "out" on the "Three Strikes and You're Out" slide.
Otherwise, looks good--keep fighting the good fight, Matt Senate UC Berkeley--Mathematics and Creative Writing Kevin Donovan wrote: > In the interest of doing substantive work instead of bickering, here's > an HTML version of the script and PDFs of the slides. > > http://www.kevindonovan.org/RIAAISPPresentation.html > > http://www.kevindonovan.org/RIAAISPPresentation.pdf > > Meaningful feedback still welcome. > > On Mon, Feb 9, 2009 at 5:25 AM, Nic Sando <[email protected] > <mailto:[email protected]>> wrote: > > Ideology can't die.
