Mini-Makeover: Chemistry Lecture

Nathan

I was studying for my chemistry class when I got the sudden urge to see how difficult it would be to redesign just a few slides from a recent deck on Acids, Bases, pH, etc.

pH Lecture Makeover

Altogether, this took around 20 minutes to recreate the 2 slides (which then became 5).

I began searching for images on iStockPhoto.com but then realized I should try looking in Flickr’s Creative Commons library. It was so easy! If I have more time, I will continue to do mini-makeovers of my lecture slides or other presentations I come across.

    Just curious, did those pictures eventually come from Flickr Creative Commons? I ask because there is no attribution.

    Also, that’s a Keynote theme, right? I only ask because it seems the picture is the focus, I almost wonder what would have happened if there was no picture at all, just a well designed placement of information, less of it, and a better focus (as compared to the original).

    Thanks for the comment, Chris. The pictures are CC, and the attribution is there, but layered over the image so as not to distract.

    It is a Keynote theme. I’m not sure I quite understand the alternate design you’re suggesting. I’d love it if you have a go and give me your take on a slide or two. I can post them here as a comparison.
