3. Graphics To Be Modified Primarily • Graphics will be modified to have visual clarity by changing the color and adding uniformity or consistency of the use of color in the presentation. Secondary • Graphics will be modified by adding to the content and/or taking away some of the content that will make the image more specific to the need of the presentation.

4. Banking Services Savings Accounts Graphic Modifications: • Using PowerPoint, I used the Picture Toolbar to recolor the image to black and white. The black and white contrasts with the background of the PowerPoint lecture. I also re-sized the picture to a larger size and checked the lock-ratio, so that if the image needs to be re-sized later, it will maintain the clarity that I want it to have. Illustrates money

5. Banking Services Checking Accounts Graphic Modifications: Using PowerPoint, I used the Picture Toolbar Edit the Picture by converting it to a MS Office Drawing Object so that each element in the picture could be edited. I chose to recolor the image using the colors, black, white, red and blue. The black and white contrasts with the background of the PowerPoint lecture. The red carries through from the use of the red pen (the only object that stayed the same) to the red ink on the check which draws attention to the check itself. I also re-colored the sleeve in the picture to blue to keep uniformity within the presentation. I also re-sized the picture to a larger size and checked the lock-ratio, so that if the image needs to be re-sized later, it will maintain the clarity that I want it to have. The image was also compressed. Illustrates writing a Check

6. Alpha-Numeric Keys • Graphic Modifications: • This image is a bitmap (bmp) and can only be edited using another image editor, such as MS Paint or MS Picture IT. I used MS Picture IT to change the color of the image to black and white and to add an edge in a blue to add a contrasting color to the presentation. I also added text to the image stating what the image is representing concerning the placement of the hands on the keyboard. I then saved the image as a GIF file and inserted it into the PowerPoint.

7. Summary Each graphic was modified to obtain a consistent use of color throughout the presentation and in some instances to pinpoint exact examples, such as Home Row Keys on slide 6. Each graphic presented will be used in classroom instruction by using PowerPoint software for instruction and/or the creation of handouts or transparencies to be used in class activities. The End
