The desk crits this week were helpful as I was able to receive a second opinion on the layout of my homesteading project. With the use of our layout project this week, I am going to try and layout the farm and perhaps experiment with triggers. I doubt myself about my skills and if I am on track, but Krause says to have confidence in my work, so that I will try to do.
Additionally, Krause points out to make sure everything is consistent with a theme. Since I have narrowed my scope, I need to make sure that my slides and information are in line with my end goal. I want to make sure is aesthetically pleasing and not a convoluted project of random information.
My audience is, of course, my classmates but I also want my information to be relative to those who have a genuine interest in the subject. All of this information should meet my theme, per Krause, and fall in line with my mission statement.

Second Post: February 7th, 2016- Project Narrowing and Reading
Hello!
After working with a partner on Desk Crit #1, it was suggested to narrow my homesteading focus. Krause states it is easier to start larger and scale back than to do the opposite. I have decided to focus on the following:
Homesteading: How do you get started?
Definition and Reason
What is homesteading?
Self-sufficiency
Environmental and economical impacts
Property/Acreage
How much is needed?
Modern movement: homesteading on an acre
Zoning
Crops
Seasons
Cost
Labor and maintenance
Poultry
Meat chickens vs. eggs
Hens/ Rooster
Coop
Bees
Pollentation
Wax/ honey
Government grants
Profit
CSA
Like-minded folks
With the text slides this week I hope to start to incorporate some of the aforementioned ideas. I do not know much about Articulate Storyline so I am attempting, as with GIMP, to learn as I go. Focusing on the visual texture and composition of the wording is important, as I want to make sure my project slides are engaging and clean. Krause also mentioned lines, bordering, and backgrounds. I feel these are more simple ideas on which to focus initially.
I want to make sure my project slides, and forthcoming project are all tied to my theme, engaged, and "different" than similar presentations.
