Problems I RanInto

Timing: This was probably one of my biggest problems. I had to view the whole slide show over and over again when I wanted to look at one slide and how it sounded. I will never use power point for a slide show

like the one that I did. I am way too picky about music and pictures lining up.

Computer breaking down: Worked on the project for about 20 plus hrs. and lost my hard drive. I learned that maybe I should back everything up even when I’m working on something for a long period of time.

Finding the right pictures: I had a really hard time deciting what kind of a mood I wanted to have in this slide show. This also made it really hard to find the right pictures that I wanted.

Music: I don’ t know why but my music would stop at a slide I didn’t want it to over and over, like I didn’t have the whole song on my computer.

Other than those problems things went well. The buttons with the links were very easy to make.
