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.
Banking Services Savings Accounts Graphic Modifications: • Using PowerPoint, I used the Picture Toolbar to recolor the image to black and white.

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

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.

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
