Benefits to Carpooling

1. Less pollution
2. Reduces need for road construction
3. Lowers stress levels (driving and at work)
4. Less demand for parking
5. Save money from gas, parking, and vehicle repairs
6. Reduces traffic

According to the Michigan Department of Transportation, in 2006, approximately 2.5 million gallons of gas were saved due to carpooling. This averages to a savings of about $5.9 million dollars for Michigan residents.

Take Seven

Final?
I am surprisingly happy with this final considering it began to take this form about 30 hours before I had to print. I was seeing how the first drafts weren't working but I finally understood how to change it to make it work. There are still some minor adjustments I feel need to be made– tilting the world, tweaking the letter forms and counters, possibly utilizing different grays... Overall, I'm excited to move on to the next phase of this series.

A Quick Follow-Up

So, there it is- my final PowerPoint. I'm quite proud to say that I stuck it out and did the entire project in PowerPoint (with the exception of very minimal editing of the scans in Photoshop) rather than resorting to programs I am more comfortable with. And I am still happy with the final version. But I still strongly dislike PowerPoint.
