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.
