Elevator Pitch

In class we are to create an “Elevator pitch” that selling us to ourselves to our audience. Whatever it may consist of, it is supposed to include who we are, what is important to us, and/or why it is important to us? Immediately I thought about my career in Criminal Justice and what I plan on pursuing after I finish my degree. What do I want to do with Criminal Justice? Well, I would love to be a juvenile probation officer! It’s always been a passion of mine to provide a helping hand to the youth and guide them through their milestones in life. May sound cliché but I want to serve the youth and be the advocate for a positive living to set an example for the children that I may come in contact with.

In my Elevator Pitch I want you to feel how I feel… I want you to know how important this is to me and I want you see why! This is all describe in 8 different forms:

·         Line: In my power point I want it to be visual appealing and very neat. How did I do that? I don’t want my audience to feel like their eyes can’t focus, so I made it a point to visually guide their eyes with ease and tell my story without saying a word.

·         Color: Color is key! Colors can make a person feel a certain type of way, so I wanted to make sure that they feel passion and purpose in my slide… Hence using Deep Coral to emphasis my main point of this project.

·         Texture and Shape: For me, texture and shapes go hand in hand because I want my images to tie in with my context. Texture can be the texture in the image and this can make the image stand out, like the texture of my skirt or the littles girl dress (in the picture above). The shape can be the cut of the image (like the vertical cut above) which can align the rest of the slide concerning the text and other images that may be included. Again I want to guide my audience eyes with ease.

·         Light/shadow: I picked the white and black tone for my photos because I feel like it gives my story history. It gives me the sense of timelessness.

·         Design/Layout: I picked a very simple layout that goes with my theme. I tried to create a simple theme to help the pictures and Deep Coral color stand out to audience.

·         Style and medium : The approach that I went with is clean cut and straight to the point. The context is very clear and you can definitely see what I am trying to express in each slide. I tried to be short but not too short. The color in my images is simple but also timeless.
