You don't need all of this coding for the URL. Typically, after the second set of numbers, the rest is unnecessary and takes up space on your slide. All you need here is this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/34770928@N07/4836127775

Keep it Simple.

The image for this assignment needs to cover most, if not all of the slide. The introductory video for this virtual class instructed you to choose a standard slide orientation, which you didn't choose. When you keep this wide slide orientation, it makes it hard to stretch images to cover the entire slide without distorting them too much.

Same comment about your URL. I won't comment on it again, as it relates to most of your slides.Also, your attribution is off of the visible slide. You need to make sure it is visible on the slide.

This image is so obviously fully copyright protected. It's even watermarked as such! When you use them, you are in essence saying, "Look at me! I rip off others' images and use them without their permission." Far from professional...

This is almost perfect. You don't even need to include the size information in the URL. Leave off the .../sizes/z/

Organization is key

Stephen Ransom

Be careful with font color. You want something easy on the eyes and easily readable. The red here tends to bother people when it is not highly contrasted with the background.One thing you can do is fill the text box with a color to help in this regard. I'll leave a duplicate title so you see what I mean.
