• Effect on the viewer
The main image on this
is the Logo of the Dell
company. It is very
relevant because the
viewer has to know
what he is looking at
and there is an image of
a new Inspiron Laptop
which effects the viewer
more.
The resolution on the
animation is not that
good.
Make the resolution
more high.

The graphics were very
clear and of a good
resolution. All the
graphics were relevant
to its aims. The colour
of the graphics suited
the animation very well
because it looked very
technical and it suits the
theme which is
computers.
On one of the slides
there was one page in
which the background
was yellow whereas on
all the other slides the
background is white.
The colour of the
background.

Animation
• Accuracy of
movement
• Type of
movement
• Choice of
effects
• Speed of
animation
The animation speed is
just perfect because it
allows enough time for
the viewer to read the
text on each slide and
also to see the images
and graphics. The way
in which each image
switches into another is
a brilliant effect.
The type of movement is
a bit dull it just switches
into another slide.

There is black text on
all the backgrounds of
the animation except for
one slide which the text
is white with a yellow
background. This is
clear and easily
readable. The text
remains on screen just
long enough for a slow
reader to read it all.
On one of the slide the
text is too small too read.
It’ll be difficult for the
reader to read this and
might miss out on some
important information.
Also the colour of the text
is just black and it doesn't
look that effective.
To make the small text
more clear and visible and
also to put some colour into
the text.
