What to include in the presentation
1. Tell the story
Listening to the story is much more interesting than dry listing of facts, excerpts from books and statistics. Turn your presentation into an exciting figurative story. So the necessary information will be remembered by the listeners.
2. Think about the structure
Understand what your presentation will be about and how exactly you will convey information to the listeners, you need before you start collecting a document in one of the services. No matter how attractive the design is if the structure is lame and the facts are presented randomly, it is unlikely to work.
3. Give preference to images
Not everyone loves reading today. If the text can be replaced with images, do it. Use icons, beautiful photos, quality schemes and diagrams. Looking at them more interesting than reading a large array of text.
4. Remove everything superfluous
If something can be abandoned without prejudice for meaning, feel free to do it. Cutting off everything unnecessary, reducing the text, deleting distracting effects, you more precisely formulate your thoughts. The more clearly your message, the easier the audience to perceive it.
How to issue a presentation
1. Forget about outdated PowerPoint templates
If earlier the presentation in PowerPoint looked normal, then with the advent of more winning templates, it looks outdated. If you plan to use and edit it in the future, it is better to assemble a “skeleton” from templates in one of the above services or create your own. Then they will only need to change content in them – this will not take much time, but it will allow you to make a beautifully material.
2. Use 3-5 colors
This is a rule that avoids too mottled, which distracts from the content of the presentation.
There are three basic colors and two additional (shades of primary colors, used if necessary). The first color is released for the background, the second and third – for the text. They should be contrasting: so the content will be easy to read.
As a rule, among the main colors there are corporate colors of your company. If there are no such, you can use one of the sites for their selection.
3. Add linear and flat icons
Volumetric low -quality icons, as it were, say: “The person who made this presentation is stuck in the 2000s”.
Flat minimalistic icons will make your presentation more modern and laconic, allowing you to clearly submit information. On this site there are thousands of stylish icons that can be downloaded for free.
4. Use fonts without cuttings
If you are not a professional designer, it is better to choose simple and readable fonts without snacks. This is a universal option that is suitable for any presentation. Here are a few examples that should be adopted:
- Arial;
- Arial Narrow;
- Arial Black (for headlines);
- Calibri;
- Bebas (for headlines);
- Roboto;
- Helvetica;
- Open Sans.
In one presentation, it is better to use one font group and change only the drawing.
5. Choose only high -quality images
By what images you selected for the presentation, people will judge your taste. Today, when there are so many open sources, it is not always possible to competently dispose of them. This is better to avoid:
- pictures from search engines;
- images with stretched smiles of people and a white background from the drains;
- low resolution pictures (less than 1,000 pixels on the long side).
Look for a photo on free photo shoes. There are many of them, there you can find the desired picture in most cases.
6. Insert beautiful tables and diagrams
All the rules described above are applicable to this item. When making a diagram, choose the right colors, get rid of excess content and keep the result in high resolution. Any table or diagram in your presentation should be simple, understandable and concise. It is better to leave the background with white.
How to hold a presentation
1. Rehearse
Rehearsal is a good way to deal with excitement and systematize information for yourself again. Speak in front of a mirror or colleagues – this will help to stay more confident. If possible, use the speaker’s mode (for example, this is in Keynote). In it, during a performance on the screen of your computer, notes will be displayed to slide, timing, next slide and other useful information.
2. Talk to the audience
Successful presentation is a dialogue, not a monologue. Ask the audience what they think on one or another reason whether they agree with you, or they have a different opinion. Interactive will make a performance not only more memorable, but also more productive – both for the speaker and for the audience.
3. Remember the time
As a rule, the time required for the presentation is calculated from the ratio of 1 minute = 1 slide. So, if you have 20 slides, the performance will take at least 20 minutes. Follow the time, because too fast feeding the material will not be effective, and the protracted performance will not like the audience.
