Using simple clip art pictures, the video above highlights the important moments of my education and career. Choosing simple pictures to represent the events in educational career was fairly straight-forward. However, I noticed the use of an arrow to direct the audience’s attention was critical. I also developed a narrative as I characterized myself as a chicken that hatched at birth. The roster theme progresses throughout the tale as he grows older and goes through different phases of his life.

To begin this process, I sketched out a quick flowchart on paper and decided which images I would search for. Keeping true to the assignment, I tried not to use any words and the only ones that show up are in the NYCDOE logo. But I figured text in a logo is almost just an icon itself.

As audience members in the class have some pretext of the assignment, they will understand the slideshow. Newcomers may be a little thrown off by the surfer rooster, but should figure it out as the narrative completes itself.
