I had already explained what each slide was going to be about in my pre planning blog post but I also did take note myself to help me along with each slide to make it easier. I took in mind what I was told to do with each slide. Not use an essay amount of writing for each slide, just a few sentences that were about the fragment of what each slide was based on. I chose 7 topics to do with anxiety or that relate with it and made a slide on each topic explaining what it is about including some facts, statistics etc..
Slide 1-
This slide is just my opening slide show which states my name on the bottom and then in the middle just to make it clear that the presentation is about my personal project. I chose a nice and simple background, simple text and just in general a simple design. What I would have done to improve next time is include what my slide show is actually about because just by looking at that beginning slide you have no idea what its about other than it is linked with the personal project.
Slide 2-
This slide is really an opening slide just explaining what anxiety is. I made it simple just because the subject of anxiety is quite a serious subject to talk about and I feel like if I made it really fancy it just wouldn't fit the subject at all. I added the definition of what Anxiety is and what it feels like. I also thrown onto the slideshow that people assume that anxiety is one individual mental health illness and just stated that it can be separated into different forms of anxiety and stated the following it could be classed under. Some of the definitions on the slide some may have heard of but others they might not know about If I had more time and was to do it again I would explain more of what the other forms of anxiety is and add the definition underneath. I would also have added a statistic of how many people on average suffer with anxiety.
Slide 3-
This slide I decided to add the symptoms of anxiety as I feel like this is such an important slide to get the message across about. I needed to add this slide as when I started to feel to symptoms of anxiety I had no idea what was happening to me and I thought I was ill and I had something wrong in general with my lungs because of the way anxiety affected my breathing and the chest pains I used to experience. I didn't have any idea that it could have been anxiety until I went to the doctors and they confirmed all of the symptoms to it and it then all started making sense to me and I just had to deal with that. I just think that people need to be aware of what the symptoms are mentally and physically and just to send that message that experiencing these symptoms is completely normal. If I was to do this slide again I would probably try and make it stand out a little more as it is really basic.
Slide 4-
This slide is based on fight or flight which I only recently learnt about whilst I was researching for this personal project and I guess its not really important but It is a part of dealing with anxiety. Also when I asked my friends and family of different ages, some anxiety questions for research not many of them knew what fight or flight was so I thought it should be a slide to explain for people to understand what it is. I also based my poster on this as with the survey results I got I thought it made sense to try raise awareness of the fight or flight scenario to everyone of different ages. I like the way this slide turned out as I included alot of facts about what it is, even included a scenario and a little diagram to help explain. This slide took the longest to make as It took me a while to develop my own photographs to include on it. If I was to do this slide again, I would try and make it stand out and make it stand out with different colours.
Slide 5-
This slide is questioning whether anxiety is a serious mental illness or not. This slide could potentially be a debating slide if someone was to disagree about it being serious or not. I stated my own opinion saying that yes It is a serious mental health illness, as I have experienced it myself and that It does affect the way things go in everyday lives. Also how it could change a person in general just because of the disorder. I then included 2 other mental illnesses that anxiety could affect, and also lead onto later on if things get really bad. I included that because some people take certain mental health problems serious and others not so serious due to what they have heard about it, or what they know about it. For example depression is well known for being a really bad mental illness and that lives are taken due to it, and I tried to give the message that having anxiety could have a huge impact on a persons life that it could even lead onto more serious disorders,
Slide 6-
This slide is about how to get help with Anxiety as again I personally think it is really important to know there is help out there. I did not know myself there was actually help you could get with anxiety. I thought that it was something that you just had to deal with and try and self help yourself. I personally helped myself with getting better as I was quite self motivated and I pushed myself to do more and more things as time went on. I included on this slide a website which helps people out with anxiety, little techniques or self help methods. My main aim with this slide was just to get the message across there is help. If I was to do this again I would have added medicines that you can take to help with anxiety, as I didn't quite have enough space to include that.
Slide 7-
This slide was all about the artist I selected to talk about. I just added who the artist was who I had chosen, why I had chosen him to display and displayed his artwork. I also added a little image I had found on google of him. Not 100% sure thats him but from what I researched I assume so. I then chose my favourite 3 art work of his and just added them on to show. If I was to do this again I would have added some personal details about the artist and I would have also added what I think about the images and the messages behind the artwork that Raine was trying to display.
Slide 8-
This slide is a recap of everything I spoke about within all of the slides. Thought this would have been a good slide to add which just some important facts and just a little touch up of each slide. I used different colours for the different topic's to help make the basic slide stand out a little more. I added the definition again, a few symptoms, flight or fight definition and the numbers and names of the helplines. If i was to do this slide again I would make it stand out more as it is really basic and Im not happy with the layout at all but overall it just states what needs to be stated so its okay I guess.
Slide 9-
This is then my last slide to end the presentation off. I stuck to the same design, some simple text and then simply added my name on the bottom. If I was to do this again I would have added again, what the slide show was actually about.
