An eye-level medium-shot captures a presentation on a stage. On the left side of the stage is a presentation screen. The slide is mostly white, with a blue-gray title banner at the top. The title banner reads, "NEXT" in blue on the left and "koha-US" in dark gray on the right. Underneath the title banner is a blue-gray navigation bar. Below the navigation bar is the body of the slide. On the top left of the slide, in a darker gray, is "What is a selector?". In smaller, lighter gray text under that is "A selector is a piece of code that tells jQuery which HTML element that jQuery is going to modify". On the bottom-right of the slide, in small gray text, is "20". On the right side of the stage stands a presenter behind a wooden lectern. The lectern has a white banner across the top half with "koha-US" in large, dark gray letters. The presenter is wearing a teal-green shirt and jeans. He is gesturing with his right hand as he speaks.
