Question
Hi, we talked before, regarding my powerpoint presentation. I'd just like to let you know that it went over really really well, so thank you.
I have one question about PowerPoint, you can 'rehearse timings' for the slides, so I was playing the slideshow with the music that I added and I would click to change the slides, according to the beats in the song which I thought would look sharp in the end. But I'd rehearse the timing, then at the end it would round to the nearest second, and completely mess up the rhythms. Can it time the slides to not the nearest second?
I also have a bunch of journals that I write with every unit of work that I complete (art history, vocabulary and the like) and at the end of the year, I have to present it (all of the journals) together. I was wondering if you had any ideas of a neat way to do that. Some kind of neat binding? Or glue them into a notebook? Or maybe even some kind of computer presentation? Thanks for everything :)
Hello again Andrea!
I'm so glad your PowerPoint presentation went well! To answer your question, no, to the best of my knowledge, PowerPoint does not time slides to partial seconds; it rounds to the nearest whole second. I'm sure that was frustrating when trying to time your project to a very specific rhythm.
As to presenting your journals, I may need more information before I can offer a useful suggestion. What kind of information are you presenting and for what purpose? Is this a journal presentation that should look professional and slick like a portfolio, or fun and creative like a hand-made journal or photo album? Thinking about this may allow you to answer your own question. Shop around at a bookstore and see if something catches your eye for inspiration. Go to a craft supply shop or a scrapbooking store to look for materials if you're going for the non-traditional route. Consider going to the library or searching online for tutorials on creating your own simple hand-sewn book. Just keep whichever "look" you choose cohesive and subtle enough that it doesn't distract from the actual journals you are presenting. They need to be your main focus. To use an analogy, your journals are your lead actors, and you need to find a way that the binding, paper, matting, etc. acts as a supporting role to that.
Hope this helps you find the perfect solution!
Sincerely,
Gianina Lopategui

Expertise
I can answer questions concerning most traditional mediums such as acrylics, watercolor, colored pencils, collage/cut paper, graphite, charcoal, and pen and ink. I also have strong, advanced knowledge of Photoshop, Powerpoint and Publisher; and beginner to immediate level knowledge in Illustrator, Freehand, After Effects, and Flash. In addition, I can cover miscellaneous subjects such as portfolio preparation, applying to art schools, art school study skills, color theory, basic design and drawing principles, basic animation techniques, working on personal art styles and exploring new artistic techniques. Topics such as the detailed legal aspects of art, web programming and Flash action scripting do not fall under my area of expertise.
