+# Building a Slideshow (that advances every 15 seconds)
+
+1. Make a title slide with a catchy title
+
+2. You lose the first and last slide, so the last slide should be a burn slide
+
+3. Have a killer slide 2 (since the first slide will just be name and title)
+
+4. Pictures > Words
+
+5. If you *need* words on a slide, keep the number of words limited
+
+6. No Citations (YAY!)
+	- There will be a works cited list on the script only
+
+7. Avoid animation on slides (gifs, video, etc.)
+
+8. Avoid a cliche ending
+
+9. Image quality is crucial!!!
+
+10. Put slide # cues on the script
+
+11. Scripts must be memorized, so **practice, practice, practice**

+# Pecha Kucha Slide Notes
+
+## Nicola
+
+- Nice Pictures
+- Try to do one image per slide maybe
+- Pictures do not always fill up the whole slide 
+- Static white background is boring
+- No text! (GOOD)
+
+## Taryn
+
+- I like the color in the opening slide
+- Slides that are a glorified word or series of words are mediocre
+- "Emergency" Slide does not need the screenshot of the phone (I think)
+
+## Louie
+
+- Consider Image Resolution (make some images sharper)
+- Captions are not always necessary (ex. Burnt Out, Nice Weather)
+- Only need one selfie
+
+## Erik
+
+- Good title
+- A few of the photos are a little blurry/low res
+- Story (without a script) is unclear
