Image:OHP-sch.JPG


Visually pleasing, nicely framed, shows precisely what an Overhead projector does. Not particularly exciting but it does the job well. By User:Mailer diablo.

 * Support. I think this captures the essence of an overhead projector perfectly. Sure it's dull, not special.. even boring. Remember what it's like being in a classroom watching one of these things? --Dante Alighieri | Talk 02:31, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Oppose. Noisy photo, unpleasant composition, bad use of the projector (small font, ugly slide). There's potential for a featured photograph of an overhead projector: 1) Play with the lighting from the projector and the environmental light. 2) Show (perhaps in a series) the possibilities of overlaying multiple slides, e.g. to combine information in different ways, to make clever use of colors, and to annotate slides. (Just not a stupid "Ohh, here's some secret text I'll reveal later" trick.) 3) Pick a nicer room. :-) There's less ugly projector models as well.  Add a human operator to make things interesting. -- Alternatively, a diagram illustrating the working principle. Dante, who said overhead projectors have to be boring? Any presentation tool can do wonders in the hands of a skilled presenter. :-)--Eloquence* 11:11, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment Have you seen a video of an artist making sand paintings on an OH projector? There are some nice examples on the net. Google for sand+painting+overhead+video and you might find some awesome stuff... --Janke | Talk 16:26, 11 March 2006 (UTC)
