Wow! Could this power point get any better?


The first change I made was to the title page.  I found an image and made it full screen. Since the background was already yellow, I changed the font from yellow to black.  Burmark (2011) suggests using images that fill the screen, and I agree.  It looks much better. I also had the image on the next slide fill the screen.  I moved the text to an empty corner for visibility. I already had incorporated several elements of humor, and I used compare and contrast on the "What's in the public domain?" page. I moved the implied license slides to just after the fair use slides.  I feel like implied license and fair use are two sides of one coin, and should be put together. My next change was to add the "It's only a sin if you get caught" slide.  I used a full screen image with elements of humor, comparing copyright infringement to burglary. The title is humorous as well, but also captures an important concept of fair use, and implied license; relying on either could be dangerous. It's better to rely on an implicit license, which is why the next slide is about creative commons licenses. The last changes were to make the images on the last two slides full screen, and to move the text to an appropriate location.
