Capstone College The new Game Art and Design program at the Digital Arts Department at Capstone College in San Francisco will be offered to students in the fall of 2012. In the spring, the department is holding regular information sessions to describe the program to students who may be interested in enrolling. As the program assistant in the department, you have been asked to create a PowerPoint presentation about the new program. To complete this case study, you create the presentation from information provided.

1. Open the file Case1_15.docx located in the Project.15 folder included with your Data Files, print a copy to refer to as you create the presentation, and then close the document. The document contains information about the new game art and design program.

2. Read the information in the document and determine how you can adapt it for a sales presentation consisting of between eight and 12 slides. You choose which information to include, how to divide the information into topics and subtopics, and how to display the information. You don’t need to include all the information in the document. Think from the point of view of the students viewing the presentation. What information do they need to encourage them to apply for the Game Art and Design program?

3. Create a new presentation in PowerPoint and save it as Digital Arts Game Art and Design Presentation.

4. In the Notes area of Slide 1 of your presentation, identify three key points that you want to emphasize in the presentation. These points should relate to areas that prospective students consider important.

5. Enter the text you wish to include on each slide in your sales presentation. Include contact information for the Digital Arts Department on the last slide in the presentation. Limit the presentation length to 10 to 15 slides.

6. Incorporate the key points into your presentation—in text and/or in graphics. Your goal is to ensure that the content supports your key points.

7. Apply the presentation design of your choice to the presentation and then modify the color scheme.

8. On one of the slides in the presentation, include a diagram created as a SmartArt graphic. You determine appropriate content for the diagram. You may decide to have the diagram reflect one of your key points.
9. Format the diagram attractively, and then apply the animation effect of your choice to the diagram so that each of the diagram components appears sequentially.
10. On at least one of the slides in the presentation, include a simple table. Use shading to emphasize key information.
11. Add appropriate illustrations; you can search Clip Art using keywords, such as computers, computer game, and software.
12. Include a footer with the text Game Art and Design and a slide number on every slide except the title slide.
13. Enter your name on the title slide, print a copy of the presentation as handouts, six to the page, and then save and close the presentation.
