Design Rational Power Point

I have made multiple power points in my academic career, but this one is by far the one I am most proud of. I was excited to learn how to put music into a power point because previously I had only been able to put sound bytes from certain websites into my presentations. I wanted to do my presentation on an artist I liked and that I felt I could do justice to in a power point. I chose Lupe because I really enjoy his music but he isn't quite as mainstream as some other rappers. Really I was trying to do his music justice while hopefully introducing him to the class in a good light as inspire others to listen to him.
I based my color scheme off of one of the first pictures I found when begining to plan out my presentation. The green and black theme seemed to really fit, and I'm proud of the effect I gave both the sources slide and the track list slide. I found adjusting the opacity to keep the text from being obscured to be a pain.
One thing that I am very proud of was how i was able to mesh the two songs I chose. I had never used a music editing program before, but I found audacity to be easy to use and I'm proud of how it turned out. If I had had more time I would have worked through the timings of the dimming and fading animations, which irked me till the end.
