Slideshow

Find and/or produce 10 images of your commodity. These images should “speak” the magical language of your commodity. You can edit (filter or effect) or simply find the images, but no type/text should be used. You might try a historical approach in which earlier or obsolete versions of your commodity make a spectacular appearance.

Utilize a slideshow technology to assemble and present your images to the class. This technology (powerpoint, .gif, magic lantern, etc.) might condition the aesthetics of the presentation. Consider the order and transitions of the images. You can produce a stand-along slideshow (which might approach the form of cinema) or the slideshow can accompany a verbal discourse about the commodity.
