Academic PowerPoint projects
These PowerPoint presentations were created for two Oakland University theory courses. More importantly, they reveal my creative versatility with Adobe InDesign's wide-ranging features. My peers enjoyed these PowerPoints and frequently complimented me on their interesting visuals. Click the links for the PDF.
This PowerPoint accompanied my senior capstone thesis, which can be found HERE.
Returning to school was a pivotal moment in my life. It allowed me to continue my education within a wider sphere of diverse worldviews cultivated by my newsroom career. To be able to apply this and other life experiences to my essay assignments was undoubtedly a reason for their high marks and praise. My Heath Ledger thesis is such an example of writing about what you know and love, with the simultaneous advantage of professional skill sets.
This book presentation was included in the Culture Theory course's final project grade. The accompanying written portion of the assignment can also be found HERE.
This project analyzed the social and environmental implications of LEGO production, a topic that remains largely unquestioned. It was an admittedly difficult education as a lifelong LEGO fan and collector to discover just how LEGO pieces are manufactured and the harm this immensely popular "world-building" toy can inflict on local ecosystems, as well as the various ways LEGO addresses this problem.
