Message/Audience: The message of my slide was to encourage the audience to gain a testimony of the Book of Mormon. The audience was those in attendance and watching General Conference. from all over the world, I chose a complementary color scheme using gold and indigo. The font is in Candara (sans serif). I struggled with this a bit feeling that my slides were very plain, but I found that even something as simple as a shadow could make an element pop. I didn’t want a lot of white, so I chose a bold indigo color to fall as the backdrop and act as whitespace for the slides. My slides are obviously not close to my sketches. I really appreciated the talk I chose. It has strengthened my testimony.
Critique: I critiqued Pollyanna Reyes’ and Erika Martinez’s blogs.
Here are my sketches.

Hi Leah! I love this slide design you did. I love the images you choose to represent your text. I also really like the boxes around your titles, it really makes them stand out. I also like the repeating color in all of your titles, it really ties the whole project together. Great job!
