advice on english presentation (1 Viewer)

[jane1820]

bg info:
i've written a short story abt a mentally ill girl (delusion) who is painting a painting of a man staring with a knife and a fork in his hands and an empty plate in front of him (it symbolizing that the girl is 'hungry' for something to happen) but towards the end it's a plot twist that she actually never painted anything it was just a White Painting (title of story) and that the white paint symbolises emptiness

main question:
anyways i have a reflection as a presentation to do and i want to do the first slide to be just white (obviously with title and name) and then add images throughout and then at the end just a white slide again

im scared that the teachers (they do collective marking) won't understand this concept and mark me down for 'not aesthetically pleasing' or sum
is there a way i can make this concept obvious? (im not allowed to ask for reflection + slide feedback AT ALL i get a 0: we only get feedback for story - headteacher rules idk)

You can try to make the concept obvious by making the other slides with pictures highly colourful/ themed if that makes sense? To emphasise that you are capable of making an aesthetic presentation and the blank beginning was merely a stylistic choice. The slides with pictures should be really well executed tho, + go along with a very explicit explanation of ur story bc some teachers r

also, blank white can be used well aesthetically, for example with typewriter fonts, a minimalistic style can both look nice (if the text is small and simple) as well as convey your symbolic ideas.

plus: if you end up going for this style for the first page use punctuation like "."

actually idk but it may look cool

gotta be brave and take the risk. just ensure youve made quite clear what white symbolises it wouldn't take a genius to realise why you done that aesthetic touch after that. if their idiots and they still mark you down report them

its nice i'd probably add artwork thats famous in the boxes u didn't fill yet and then write a short reflection wherever u had to on its sig (eg aestehics as reflective of psyche, etc) + try to keep more room for writing rather than frames rmbr its a marker not a student. they want info not deco

i have an idea for the images
image 1: a painting of a girl painting - story is abt a girl painting
image 2: nose and mouth painted - its the first thing someone paints to show progress
image 3: completes the painting
image 4: changes the painting - in the story she gets frustrated bc the painting is not working (shows internal conflict)
image 5: changes the painting again
image 6: nothing

hence 6 slides, i have more slots for images for the aesthetic rn
