OER16 propaganda

Now I did this in 10 mins at work in PowerPoint - the software of choice for the corporate and time-pressed ds106 participant.

I grabbed the Charlie picture from google images, ditto the OER16 logo and pasted them in to powerpoint. Using the "colour" tool on the picture format menu, I made the white part of the logo transparent and turned it into pure black and white. I then resised it and used the "3D" rotate tool to fit it on to the main picture.

It was looking a bit odd, so I desaturated the main picture (33%) for a more retro look. The text used a "Bevelled gold" effect on a bodoni font.

I wanted to get the conference details on an actual golden ticket, so I made a rectangular text box and added the gold effect via assigning various shades of orange to a gradient.

And that was it.

So after the *MONSTER* I unleashed yesterday I figured I'd better get on to the next daily create I saw. And it was a video.

We had to make a version of this Virgin Airways deliberately boring video to make it even more boring. And what is more boring than a 5 hour flight, that's right... MOOCs.

So I grabbed the section I needed (which was a wonderfully trippy generic dream sequence about graduating and learning to fly, about 86 minutes in), and added a slowed down, echoed and flanged recording of my voice reading out the FutureLearn "About page". Lovely.

(Incidentally, you can already watch Coursera videos on JetBlue)
