planning your show
Before you even begin reaching for the computer, you should sit down with some old fashioned pencil and paper to plan your slide show. Do it as a list, an outline, or even a series of simple sketches. Whatever works best for you.
For each slide in your show, give it a simple identifier name. For example, when I was creating the short slide show from my trip to the Grand Canyon (used as the jClicker demo), I might create a list of slides:
- fall-colors
- canyon-walls
- campground
- black-bridge
Each item corresponds to a JPEG image that I have either (legally) acquired from the Internet, scanned from a photograph, captured with a digital camera, or perhaps created on the computer.
You should also write a short caption for each slide, and a descriptive short title that will appear from the navigation menu.
