Keep it simple.

Your presentation is not your PowerPoint.

“Slides should reinforce your words, not repeat

them.”

Organize your thoughts.1

Craft your presentation.2

Create your visuals.3

Each slide is one idea.

“When we do design work,

we have reasons.”

Where did my song go? When selecting the Save option to download a song, you can select where you would like to save it. If you downloaded a song, but are not able to find it, you can re-download it. Go to the Recent Downloads tab in the upper right hand corner. Here you have the ability to re-download a previously downloaded song up to two more times within 2 weeks from the original download. This re-download will not count against your download totals. Select Download Now for item you want to re-download. At the prompt, select Save and choose where you want to save the song.

Will the songs downloaded work on the iPod or iPad? Yes. The easiest thing to do is to download the files to your desktop or your music folder. Import the song into iTunes by either dragging the song into the window or importing it from the menu. Presto, the song is now added into your library. Next time you synch up, you will see that song in your music library.

How do I get the songs into iTunes? The easiest thing to do is to download the files to your desktop or your music folder. Import the song into iTunes by either dragging the song into the window or importing it from the menu. To include songs into your Windows Media Player, just go to Presto. The song is now added into your library with all album art! Next time you synch up, you will see that song in your music library.

Ideally you’ll have seven to ten words across. Like this.

Ten to fourteen words across is okay, too. But your font will be smaller.
