    Just stumbled upon this, Anu. I think for your first submission, you did a good job. Some of the transitions are weird, but that might be because you've set them to actually navigate to new slides, instead of utilizing layers on the same slide, and it seems that those slides have a fade effect applied to them. That's not always a bad thing, but it adds some lag on a couple of things when I was clicking. Also, look out for the alignment of those text box titles that you have overlaying each picture. Additionally, I noticed that when I hover over the text box, it doesn't allow me to click on that picture; you specifically have to select the picture. To remedy this, you could simply create a transparent box for each picture that covers each picture+title box combination. Essentially, then, you would change the triggers to jump to the correct slide when the user clicks on each transparent box, instead of just the image. I hope that makes sense. Seriously, keep on creating stuff! That's how we all get better! :)

      Hi Noah, thanks for the feedback. You're right, some transitions are set to navigate to new slides. And yeah, looks like I need to fix the alignment of the text box titles. Thanks for your suggestion about creating transparent boxes over the pictures + title texts, this makes sense, I'm going to do that. :)
