RHE 309K Powerpoint Reformatting

In the second, I added in some off-center black outlines to add more depth to the graphic (was also playing around with fonts at this stage lol)

From here, Valerie asked me to make a version with two stacked speech bubbles in the bottom right corner to place the course title and instructor’s name. My most recent draft, which I’ll need to tweak a bit next week:
