I've learned that those tools and tips are very useful for a freshman like me. Way back in my high school days, the background for me is just to make my presentation cute but I realized that I'm doing it wrong. The background and the fonts must be balance in order to understand what you want to show in your audience. Before I end this blog I wanted to say thank you to our professor for motivating us and to our student teacher thank you and congrats for finishing your final demo. Happy Teacher's day!
