According to my design plan my multimedia poem is excellent. It is less than two minutes, clocking in at one minute and a few seconds. It is also approved by Mrs. V, it has some meaning to it, and it is more than 4 lines. However my first poem that I wanted to use, although approved by Mrs. V, was very lengthy and would have been extremely difficult to use as a poem for making multimedia poetry.
There are only images to be less confusing. I did not use video, just like I planned. I listed the URLs of the pictures in the credits, and I used pictures with reasonably high resolution. I also used solid colors (just black) as backgrounds on some slides. I did not self-create images or music due to time constraints, but I was satisfied with the images and music I had chosen.
My text was simple and the colors were easy to read. Each slide had from 1 to 4 lines just like planned. My text fonts were mostly the same. I used simple classical music and included credits, and my colors were mostly grayscale in terms of text.

Improvments: I should have made it longer, because it was only a minute and a few seconds. I also mistakenly said ‘groves’ instead of ‘droves’. The music also should have been louder, and maybe slower. The pictures were perfect; there were no problems with them. A couple slides were too fast so I should have slowed them down.

Evaluate performance:
- Design Specification: my design specification performance was good. I had all the specifications and limitations that I needed. I put down specifications for music, pictures, transitions, and timing.
- My plan was good but didn’t have any alternative plans if something got in the way of my original plan. I did not exactly schedule it per class and that might have had an effect on my progress.
- My design (storyboards) were also good, if not a bit simple. I drew two storyboards and chose one of them to use as a basis for my poem. I chose the second one, which is divided into several slides.
Overall, I did an excellent job with my multimedia poetry and am very satisfied.
