Presentation on the topic "general rules for the design of a presentation." Rules for creating presentations How to create presentations

It is not enough to create a presentation in PowerPoint technically. It is necessary to clearly present its structure and be able to correctly present information. The presentation should complement the text, not interfere or repeat it. We suggest that you familiarize yourself with the algorithm that will help you do the job efficiently.

Preparing to Create a Presentation

Many people ignore this step, but it is the key one. Take a draft, sketch out a rough structure. Consider title slide content, headings, content. Ideas for visualization will come during the creation of the presentation.

Creating the first slide and choosing a style

The first slide is created automatically when you start PowerPoint. First, choose the right style. Click the "Design" tab, select the appropriate design theme. It can be applied to one slide, or to all at once. You can also select a background color. There are a lot of parameters, you can choose your own image. All this is in the "Background Styles">>"Format Background" section. Here we select the font for the title, further information. Now you can write the title and design the title slide.

To continue, you must click on the "Create Slide" tab or perform the appropriate action on the panel where the content of the presentation is displayed. You will be prompted to select its type:

• If you want to create a unique slide from scratch - choose "blank slide".
• Need a specific structure - choose from those offered.

If all slides should be the same in their structure, you can simply copy the main one.

Working with multimedia

Working with text, graphics, images, audio and other data is very convenient. A picture or photo can simply be dragged onto the PowerPoint window and then resized. Go to the "Insert" tab: there you will be offered options for attaching different data to the presentation. PowerPoint can work with tables, as well as charts, the values ​​​​of which are conveniently set (as in Excel). You can set the slide number, this is also done in the insert menu.

The Animation tab allows you to add movement to slide shows and individual elements. This will add dynamics, especially if the speech is long and a lot of visualization is required. After everything is ready, be sure to check and view the presentation on your own and other computers (the program versions may not match or there may be other problems).

How to make the presentation not banal?

Use a few tips:

• Avoid unnecessary textual information on the slide. All this will have to be told, no one will be able to read the huge "sheet" of the text, no one needs it.
• Work on the visualization, but don't overwhelm your audience with unnecessary flowcharts, layered structures, obscure graphs.
• Don't mess with fonts, colors, and images. One font is often enough, the text color is dark on a light background (and not vice versa!). Remember that the text must be readable in any light.
• Be as concise as possible and make sure that the presentation complements the text, and is not a projection of it.

Presentation is a means of visual presentation of a report, abstract, other scientific, practical or creative work.

The following are general rules to keep in mind when creating a presentation.

• Work on the presentation should begin with the preparation of an abstract in Word.

Before you start creating a presentation, you should clearly imagine (understand) what you are going to convey to the audience, what you are going to tell her (the audience). Therefore, it is necessary to look through as much literature on this topic as possible, make a list of materials and illustrations that you need. Determine what materials and illustrations you need to scan, find on the Internet or, finally, draw yourself.

• The entire text of the abstract should be divided into logically completed pieces of small size. Then you should select illustrative material for each piece (drawings, photographs, tables, charts, graphs, diagrams, videos) that meet the requirements:

Clarity

Relevance

attractiveness

visibility

Quality

memorability

• There should be nothing superfluous in the presentation. Each slide should be a link that is logically related to the topic of the story and work towards the overall idea of ​​the presentation.
• Do not overload slides with unnecessary details (do not get carried away with animation). Animation should be used only for the purpose of drawing students' attention to the main, key points of the slide. Do not forget that sound and visual effects should not distract students from the main (important) information.

Let us dwell in more detail on the main stages of creating a presentation.

Stage 1. Getting Started

Choosing a topic, setting the goal and objectives of the presentation, determining the key points of the topic and conclusion.

Stage 2. Determine the content and design of the presentation

1. Plan a future presentation. It is desirable that the plan be detailed. It is necessary to draw on paper the structure of the presentation, a schematic representation of the slides and figure out what text, drawings, photographs or other materials will be included in one or another slide. Drawing up a list of drawings, photographs, sound files, videos (if necessary) that will be placed in the presentation. Definition of the text part of the presentation
2. Definition of demonstration conditions. This will determine the amount of textual information placed on the slides, and, as we said above, the font size and type of navigation.
3. Determination of the number of slides in your presentation (it can then change), based on the attention rateattention span of 1.5-2 minutes per slide.The optimal volume of a presentation is considered to be 24 traditional slides, if the presentation fits into 16 slides - even better, but 12 or less slides is something that is rare and memorable.
4. Defining a rough design for your slides. The color scheme of the backgrounds of the slides, the format of the headings (it is desirable that all slides have the same format and the same style).

Stage 3. The procedure for creating a presentation

1. Entering and editing text. Text slides are created, only text information is entered on each slide. After entering the text, you need to decide on its location on each slide, consider its formatting, i.e. determine the size, color of the font, headings and body text.Fonts for titles should be the same on all slides, explanatory text can be written in a different font, but all slides should stick to one font for one type of information.When choosing a text color, remember that the text should be “readable”, i.e. the background of the slides should not “mute” the text. Do not "take" rare types of fonts, they may not be on other computers with which the presentation will be shown in other audiences. The font must be sans-serif, for the heading the font must be at least 24, for the information - at least 18. There must be no dots in the headings.

The presentation language must be concise. First, write everything you would like to say, choose the most important, discard the rest. In the most important, abbreviate first at the sentence level, then at the word level. After that, you will have the quintessence of your message. Example: "There are a number of reasons that led the Roman Empire to a crisis. The main ones can be considered complete anarchy, corruption of all echelons of power, inability to manage remote provinces and the invasion of barbarians." After processing, the meaning of this message can be expressed as follows:

Determine if the slides are overloaded with text, you may have to include part of the text in an oral presentation, and if the presentation is shown without a speaker, then you need to think over the content of the text so that it does not lose its meaning and is understandable. And do not forget about spelling, nothing spoils the idea of ​​​​you and your work like spelling errors in the text of the presentation.

1. Graphs, charts, tables. If you plan to place graphs and charts in your presentation, then consider their location, determine whether the inscriptions are readable, and do not overload one slide with several graphs or charts - the information will be worse perceived by students. The same applies to tables, the text in the tables should be clearly visible, for clarity in the tables, you can use a weak (in color) cell shading.
2. Images, drawings, background.The background of the slides is very important, it creates a certain mood among the audience and should correspond to the theme of the presentation. Serious presentations should not be colorful, contain bright, "poisonous" colors and change colors from slide to slide. If the presentation consists of several large themes, then each theme can have its own color scheme, but not differ much from the overall color scheme of the presentation. Don't make the background too colorful, it will distract the audience and make it difficult to read the text. Now let's talk about illustrations. Graphic objects placed in the presentation should be, first of all, optimized, clear and with good resolution. Graphic objects are not located in the middle of the text, it looks bad. It is advisable to avoid drawings in the presentation that do not carry a semantic load, if they are not part of the styling. Illustrations are recommended to be accompanied by explanatory text. If a graphic image is used as a background, then the text on this background should be well readable.
3. The next step in creating a presentation isinsert animation.With the help of animation effects, you can significantly improve the perception of the presentation and draw the attention of the audience to the most important points reflected on the slides or in the presentation itself. Before applying animation effects, you need to carefully study the possibilities of intra-slide and inter-slide animation and consider how and where to apply it. The need and type of animation should be logically linked to the structure of the report, the viewer should be ready to see the objects located on the slide in a certain place, and not run around the slide with their eyes. You can use the pointer or mouse pointer to help viewers find what you've already started talking about. Pause a little between slides to give the audience time to absorb what you've told them, don't chatter, but don't mumble either. The speech should be energetic, but not deafen the audience.
4. Sound accompaniment.If you decide to include audio in your presentation, then be very careful. Music should not primarily drown out the speaker, irritate the ear, have abrupt transitions, and also lull listeners. The soundtrack should organically fit into the theme of your presentation. If you are not sure about the need or choice of the sound accompaniment of the presentation, then it is better to refuse it altogether.
5. Finishing the presentation.Fine-tuning a presentation consists of reviewing your presentation repeatedly, determining the time intervals the audience needs to view each slide, and the timing of their change. Remember that the slide should be on the screen for so long that the audience can see, remember, and understand its content. Meanwhile, a large interval between slide changes reduces interest. You may need to swap some slides in the final review to create a more logical presentation structure, or make other adjustments to it.

The presentation should end with a summary slide containingput the main conclusions of the report in a concentrated form.

Unified styling

1. All presentation slides should be in the same style.
2. slide design should not distract attention from its content
3. it is not recommended to use more than 3 colors and more than 3 font types in presentation styling

Important Prohibitions

1. Images and text on slides should not be small (even if, as mentioned, the presentation is being prepared for paper).
2. If the presentation is in color, then you should avoid bright, so-called pure tones - scarlet, bright blue, green, purple (they hurt the eye). Such paints should be reserved for highlighting really key moments, and for ordinary images, use pastel colors and contrasting combinations of font and background colors.
3. Variegation on the screen (more than four colors at the same time) is also a sign of an inexperienced hand.
4. The most important taboo is superimposed on special effects. Animations like rotating titles, text falling by letter, flipping slides, as well as any sounds are put into the program not for business and educational presentations, but for exhibitions, whose purpose is to lure onlookers into the pavilion. They only drag out the usual presentation and utterly annoy the listeners.

Basic rules of speaking

The presentation consists of two parts: a slide show and accompanying them with a test. Although the presentation is the unity of slides and speech, it is still primary - the speaker, and not his slides. The function of slides is to support the presentation, not the other way around. Violation of this principle, coupled with the already dismantled and condemned predominance of the text, usually leads to very deplorable consequences: instead of speaking, the speaker simply reads the text on the slides. Listeners do not respect such speakers; they can read the text themselves if necessary.

Rule 1. Build your presentation on arguments, not slides

If the presentation is done correctly and the text is well balanced with other visual elements, then you still should not lead your audience through the presentation like a tourist guide: "look left, look right." The presenter should lead the audience not from slide to slide, but from thesis to argument, from argument, for example, from conclusion to conclusion. You can’t say “let’s go to page 7”, you need to say “exactly how we solve this problem is described on page 7”. You can’t say “look at the next slide”, you have to “and what follows from this?” And that's what!

Rule 2

It is worth recalling that the performance must be prepared, rehearsed and even timed. Most speakers ignore this simple rule, but the audience notices right away.

Rule 3: Believe in what you say

No matter how neatly written your speech is, it will not touch anyone if you read it like a TV announcer. The key to hearts is very simple: let the audience feel the person in you - and they will reach out to you. You need to believe in what you say - only in this case you will be believed. Conviction should be heard in your voice, and even better - holy faith in what you yourself are doing. At least for the duration of the performance, but you must believe!

Rule 4

Genuine emotions cannot be programmed. The exact word spoken in the hearts electrifies the audience.

Rule 5. Presentation rehearsal

After creating a presentation and its design, you need to rehearse its show and your performance, check how the presentation will look like as a whole.

Presentation is the most effective way to attract the target audience, partners, colleagues. With the help of a presentation, you can visually and voluminously present information on a particular topic, coursework, diploma or business plan. Visualized information is easier to perceive and remember well! The rules for creating a presentation, the main points and obvious errors - these are just some of the issues that will be covered in these guidelines.

Rules for creating a presentation

Presentations are for:

• displaying the clarity of educational / lecture material,
• management of educational and cognitive activities of the audience,
• control and verification of the assimilation of the submitted material,
• generalization and systematization of knowledge,
• advertising of goods, services,
• creating photo albums, etc.

Presentations can be shown in different ways:

• on the computer,
• on the screen using a multimedia projector,
• on a large format TV screen.

Created presentations may contain:

• text,
• Images,
• charts,
• drawings,
• computer animation of processes and phenomena,
• sound accompaniment,
• autoshapes,
• diagrams
• hyperlinks;
• videos.

Basic rules for presentations:

Simplicity, conciseness (minimalism in the presentation of visual information). A brief summary of the material, the maximum information content of the text.

The following presentation rules:

• Readability (visibility from the farthest corners of the room and from various devices);
• Lack of accumulation, a clear order in everything.
• Carefully structured information.
• The presence of short and concise headings, bulleted and numbered lists.
• Important information (for example, conclusions, definitions, rules, etc.) should be presented in large and bold type and placed in the upper left corner of the slide.
• Secondary information should preferably be placed at the bottom of the slide.
• Each provision (idea) should be given a separate paragraph.
• The main idea should be laid out in the first line of the paragraph.
• Use tabular forms of information presentation (diagrams, charts) to illustrate the most important facts, which will make it possible to present the material compactly and clearly.
• Graphics should organically complement the text.
• The explanation should be placed as close as possible to the illustrations with which they should appear on the screen at the same time.
• Instructions for completing tasks must be carefully considered in terms of their clarity, conciseness, and unambiguity.
• Use an emotional background (fiction is remembered better than special texts, and poetry is better than prose).
• All textual information must be carefully checked for spelling, grammatical and stylistic errors.
• The performance of the supplied material increases if the visual and auditory channels of information perception are simultaneously involved (foreign sources call this the principle of modality). Therefore, it is recommended, where possible, to use sound for text and graphics.

Studies show that the effectiveness of auditory perception of information is 15%, visual - 25%, and their simultaneous involvement in the learning process increases the efficiency of perception up to 65%.

Physiological features of the perception of colors and shapes

• Stimulating (warm) colors promote excitement and act as irritants (in descending order of intensity of exposure: red, orange, yellow).
• Disintegrating (cold) colors calm, cause a drowsy state (in the same order: purple, blue, blue, blue-green, green).
  Neutral colors: light pink, yellow-green, brown.
• The combination of two colors - the color of the sign and the color of the background - significantly affects visual comfort, and some pairs of colors not only tire the eyesight, but can also cause stress (for example: green symbols on a red background).
• The best combination of font and background colors: white on dark blue, black on white, yellow on blue, orange on black.
• The color scheme should be the same for all slides.
• Any background pattern increases eye fatigue and reduces the efficiency of information perception.
• Clear, bright patterns that change easily "cover" the subconscious, and they are better remembered.
• Any secondary object that moves (animated) reduces the quality of perception of the material, distracts attention, disrupts its dynamics.
• Showing slides with background accompaniment of unwanted sounds (songs, melodies) causes rapid fatigue, contributes to distraction of attention and reduces learning productivity.
• Remember!
  A person can simultaneously memorize no more than three facts, conclusions, definitions.
• Each slide should reflect one thought.
• The text should consist of short words and simple sentences.
• The line should contain 6-8 words.
• In total, the slide should have 6-8 lines.
• The total number of words should not exceed 50.
• Verbs must be in the same tense form.
• Headings should grab the attention of the audience and summarize the main points of the slide.
• Headings should include both uppercase and lowercase letters.
• Slides should not be too bright - extra decorations only create a barrier to effective communication.
• The number of blocks of information during the display of statistical data on one slide should be no more than four.
• Captions for illustrations are placed below it, not above it.
• All presentation slides should be in the same style.

General rules for using fonts

1. Each font (typeface + spelling) has one semantic load.

For a stable headset, traditional, at least since the 19th century. there are such:

• bold font for the names of document structures,
• italics - logical emphasis, in particular, on the formulation of the main provisions, definitions, etc.,
• "direct" ordinary - the main array of information.

2. Presentation texts that are used in a psychologically tense non-standard situation should be submitted in a typeface with a simplified recognition algorithm, for example, Arial font. This is advisable when working with safety instructions, regulations, agreements with legal or property consequences, conditions for olympiad tasks, etc.

3. Avoid using more than three different fonts on the same slide. Otherwise, the reader will get tired prematurely, constantly trying to choose a font recognition algorithm. The exception is the instructions for using fonts.

4. Mathematical formulas are represented by a typeface close to the standard one (Times New Roman), with all variables in italics, the rest in brackets, signs of mathematical operations, well-established names of functions (sin, cos, etc.) - in the usual "direct" font.

Advice!
Before creating a presentation, it is desirable:

1. Determine the topic and purpose of the presentation

2. Create a presentation scheme (script)

3. Plan the content of all slides, their style.

Typical shortcomings and mistakes when creating presentations

• The absence of a title slide containing: the name of the project or topic of the lesson (class); About the author; date of development; information about the location of the resource in the network, etc.;
• the absence of an Introduction, which presents: the goals and objectives of studying the topic, a brief description of the content;
• lack of a Table of Contents (for detailed developments, if the presentation contains sections, subtopics) with hyperlinks to sections / subtopics of the presentation;
• lack of a logical conclusion of the presentation, containing: conclusion, generalizations, conclusions;
• overloading slides with detailed textual information (no more than three small facts on a slide and no more than one important one);
• uneven and irrational use of space on the slide;
• lack of connection between the background of the presentation and the content.
• poor choice of colors: using too bright and tedious colors, using more than 3 colors in the design (text color, background color, title and/or highlight color); using a dark background with light text;
• use different backgrounds on slides within the same presentation;
• the use of drawings, photographs of poor quality and with distortions of proportions;
• lack of proper text alignment;
• lack or ambiguity of connections in the diagrams or between the components of the material on the slide;
• the presence of various transition effects between slides and other annoying animation effects that interfere with the perception of information;
• lack of unity of page style:

• the same typeface and font size for all headings (at least 24 points);
• the same typeface and font size for test fragments (at least 18 points);
• headings, page numbers, paging buttons should appear in the same place on the screen;
• the same color scheme on all pages, etc.

Media and Features Does your presentation look great on a computer screen? On the projector, she may be mediocre

Monitor Forgives almost all the flaws of preparing a presentation Therefore, they will all come out later, on the projector screen or in the printed version

Paper printout Animation and effects will not be; Font size must be Sufficient sufficient sufficient for reading 2 slides per A4 page is the maximum Printing on one side of the sheet only. The second is for notes.

slide design

Title Not every slide needs a title The fewer words in the title, the better The title should not repeat the content of the slide

Text No more than 10 lines per slide The main thing should be highlighted or underlined The largest possible letters in a contrasting color background Remove uninformative phrases from the text - it’s not right: “About 40 experts, physicists and chemists, art historians in the Restoration and Research Center of French Museums ...” correct: "... the experts did not find ..."

The selected font must be legible. Can you see well? Can you see well? Can you see well? The letters do not blur, the color of the letters does not irritate the eyes.

Heading letters created using the Word Art object should not stick to each other Hello everyone in the lesson

Background As homogeneous as possible, monochrome is better No images that carry a semantic load Both light and dark text should be readable on the background

Illustrations No illustration is better than a bad one One style of drawing throughout the presentation Do not use both drawings and photographs in the same slide The backgrounds of the drawing and presentation should be close

Reduce and enlarge images proportionally

Bright! Motley! No more than 3 colors should participate in the presentation Multicolor!

Numbered Stone Age: Paleolithic Mesolithic Neolithic Labeled Early forms of religions: animism fetishism totemism lists If the sequence of items is important Simple enumeration

Table Size no more than 15 x10 cells Required to highlight important values

Pie chart No more than 7 sectors (the rest can be summarized in "other") Labels on segments are preferable to legend

Theme Structure

Extra attributes Picture on each slide “Beautiful” frame Slide number and title date Title of the presentation Title Important information Useful information Interesting information

Transitions and animations

transitions Duration = 1-3 seconds Maximum 2 types of transitions: for section headings and normal slides The sooner the content of the slide is visible during the transition, the better

animation Use every opportunity to do without it Animation needs very serious reasons: To show successive changes in the system from a large number of objects A generalizing lesson-game with students

The text block on the slide should appear in its entirety, and not letter by letter. The listener starts to follow the outgoing letters, and does not hear the speaker.

Microsoft PowerPoint is a powerful set of presentation tools. When you first explore the program, it may seem that creating a demo here is really easy. Maybe so, but most likely a rather primitive version will come out, which is suitable for the most minor shows. But to create something more complex, you need to delve into the functionality.

First of all, you need to create a presentation file. There are two options here.

Now that PowerPoint is working, we need to create the slides - the frames of our presentation. The button is used for this. "Create Slide" tab "Home", or a combination of hot keys "Ctrl" + "M".

Initially, a title slide is created, which will show the title of the presentation topic.

All further frames will be standard by default and have two areas - for the title and content.

A start. Now all you need to do is fill your presentation with data, change the design, and so on. The order of execution does not really matter, so the next steps do not have to be done sequentially.

Appearance customization

As a rule, even before the start of filling the presentation with data, the design is configured. For the most part, they do this because after adjusting the appearance, existing site elements may not look very good, and you have to seriously rework the finished document. Because most often they do it right away. To do this, use the tab of the same name in the header of the program, it is the fourth from the left.

To configure, go to the tab "Design".

There are three main areas here.

It is worth talking about the last option in a little more detail.

Button "Background Format" opens an additional side menu on the right. Here, in the case of installing any design, there are three tabs.

These tools are quite enough to make the presentation design not only colorful, but also completely unique. If the presentation does not have the specified standard style selected by this time, then in the menu "Background Format" will only "Pouring".

Slide layout customization

As a rule, before filling the presentation with information, the format is also configured. There is a wide range of templates for this. Most often, no additional layout settings are required, since the developers provide a good and functional assortment.

If, nevertheless, there is a need to create a slide in a layout that is not provided for by standard templates, then you can make your own blank.

At the end of all work, press the button "Close sample mode". After that, the system will return to working with the presentation again, and the template can be applied to the slide in the manner described above.

Filling with data

Whatever was described above, the main thing in the presentation is filling it with information. Anything can be inserted into the show, as long as it harmoniously combines with each other.

By default, each slide has its own title and a separate area is allocated for this. Here you should enter the name of the slide, the topic, what is being said in this case, and so on. If a series of slides speaks about the same thing, then you can either delete the title, or simply do not write anything there - the empty area is not displayed when the presentation is shown. In the first case, you need to click on the border of the frame and click the button Del. In both cases the slide will not have a title and the system will label it as "nameless".

Most slide layouts use "Content area". This section can be used both for entering text and for inserting other files. In principle, any content added to the site automatically tries to occupy this particular slot, adjusting to the size on its own.

If we talk about text, then it is easily formatted using standard Microsoft Office tools, which are also present in other products of this package. That is, the user can freely change the font, color, size, special effects and other aspects.

As for adding files, the list is wide. It can be:

• Images;
• Mathematical, physical and chemical formulas;
• SmartArt schemes, etc.

To add all this, a variety of methods are used. In most cases, this is done through the tab "Insert".

Also, the content area itself contains 6 icons for quickly adding tables, charts, SmartArt objects, pictures from a computer, images from the Internet, and video files. To insert, you need to click on the corresponding icon, after which the toolkit or browser will open to select the desired object.

Inserted elements can be freely moved around the slide with the mouse, manually selecting the desired layout. Also, no one forbids changing sizes, position priority, and so on.

Additional functions

There is also a wide range of different features that enhance the presentation, but are not required to be used.

Transition setup

This point is half related to the design and appearance of the presentation. It does not have such paramount importance as setting up the external one, so it is not necessary to do it at all. This toolkit is located in the tab "Transitions".

In area "Go to this slide" presents a wide selection of different animation compositions that will be used to transition from one slide to another. You can choose the presentation you like the most or suit the mood of the presentation, as well as use the customization function. The button is used for this. "Effect Options", each animation has its own set of settings.

Region "Slide Show Time" no longer has to do with visual style. Here you can set the duration of viewing one slide, provided that they will change without the author's command. But it is also worth noting here the important button for the last paragraph - "Apply to all" allows you not to apply the transition effect between slides on each frame manually.

Animation settings

You can add a special effect to each element, whether it is text, a media file or anything else. It's called "Animation". The settings for this aspect are located in the corresponding tab in the program header. You can add, for example, the animation of the appearance of an object, as well as the subsequent disappearance. Detailed instructions for creating and configuring animation can be found in a separate article.

Hyperlinks and control system

In many serious presentations, control systems are also set up - control keys, slide menus, and so on. For all this, the hyperlink setting is used. Not in all cases, there should be such components, but in many cases it improves perception and systematizes the presentation well, practically turning it into a separate manual or program with an interface.

Outcome

Based on the foregoing, we can come to the following most optimal algorithm for creating a presentation, consisting of 7 steps:

1. Create as many slides as you need

   It is far from always possible for the user to say in advance how long the presentation will be, but it is best to have an idea. This will help in the future to harmoniously distribute the entire amount of information, set up various menus, and so on.

2. Customize visual design
3. Distribute slide layout options

   To do this, either existing templates are selected, or new ones are created, and then distributed to each slide individually, based on its purpose. In some cases, this step may even precede the setting of the visual style, so that the author can adjust the design parameters just for the chosen arrangement of elements.

4. Enter all data

   The user brings all the necessary text, media or other types of data into the presentation, distributing it over the slides in the desired logical sequence. All information is edited and formatted here.

5. Create and configure additional elements

   At this stage, the author creates control buttons, various content menus, and so on. It is also not uncommon for individual moments (for example, creating slide control buttons) to be created during the framing stage so that you do not have to manually add buttons each time.

6. Add secondary components and effects

   Setting animations, transitions, background music and so on. Usually done already at the last stage, when everything else is ready. These aspects have little effect on the finished document and can always be abandoned, which is why they are dealt with last.

7. Check and fix bugs

   It remains only to double-check everything by running the preview, and make the necessary adjustments.

Additionally

In the end, I would like to make a couple of important points.

• Like any other document, a presentation has its own weight. And it is the larger, the more objects are inserted inside. This is especially true for music and video files in high quality. So you should once again take care to add optimized media files, since a multi-gigabyte presentation not only presents difficulties with transportation and transfer to other devices, but in general can work extremely slowly.
• There are various requirements for the design and content of the presentation. Before starting work, it is best to find out the regulations from the management, so as not to make a mistake and not come to the need to completely redo the finished work.
• By the standards of professional presentations, it is recommended not to make large piles of text for those cases where the work is intended to accompany a presentation. No one will read all this, all the basic information should be delivered by the announcer. If the presentation is intended for individual study by the recipient (for example, an instruction), then this rule does not apply.

As you can understand, the procedure for creating a presentation includes many more options and steps than it might seem from the very beginning. No tutorial will teach you how to create demos better than just experience. So you need to practice, try different elements, actions, look for new solutions.

And I often have to point out to students errors in presentations for term papers and dissertations.

Today I will tell you how to properly design a presentation so that your report makes a good impression on the audience.

It doesn't matter what the purpose of your presentation is, it could be:

• Defense of the abstract, term paper or thesis;
• Report on events or achievements;
• Product overview;
• Advertising company.

For any task, the basic principles of the correct design of the presentation are always the same!

So, seven simple tips from Sergey Bondarenko and the site.

Think ahead. Don't forget the required sections:

1. Title page (first slide);
2. Introduction;
3. The main part of the presentation (usually contains several subsections);
4. Conclusion.

The body of the presentation is the most important.

When creating it, imagine that people who are poorly familiar with the topic of the report will listen to you. They need to understand what your report is about and what your role is in what you are describing.

2. Making a presentation

Style the text and titles of different slides in the same style.

If chosen for headlines blue color and font "Cambria", on all slides the headings should be blue and Cambria. Chosen for body text font"Calibri", you will have to use it on all slides.


Quotations and notes can be highlighted in a different font and color (but there should not be too many of them).

Don't get carried away with over-excretion fat content, in italics and colored text.

3. Presentation background color

Make sure that the text does not merge with the background, keep in mind that the contrast on the projector will be less than on your monitor.

Best background white(or close to it), and the best text color is black(or very dark desired shade).

Little test!

4. Designing the title (first) slide

From the contents of the first slide it should be clear what it is about, to whom it refers, who is the author. To do this, do not forget to specify:

• Organization (educational institution, enterprise, etc.);
• Topic of the report (title);
• Surname, name and patronymic of the speaker (in full);
• Your manager (if the work is done under someone else's supervision);
• Contact details (e-mail, website address, phone).

An example of a simplified design of the first slide of a presentation

Title slide according to GOST

If you need to get as close as possible to GOST 7.32-2001, then consider the following information from it:

The title page contains the following information:
— the name of the parent organization;
- the name of the organization-executor of R&D;
— index of the Universal Decimal Classification (UDC);
- codes of the Highest classification groupings of the All-Russian classifier of industrial and agricultural products for research (VKGOKP), preceding the production of products;
— numbers identifying the report;
— stamps of approval and approval;
- the name of the work;
— name of the report;
- type of report (final, intermediate);
- number (cipher) of the work;
- positions, academic degrees, academic titles, surnames and initials of the heads of the R&D executing organization, R&D leaders;
- place and date of the report.

An example of the title slide of a presentation according to GOST

Here is an example of the design of the title slide of one of my presentations, close to the requirements of GOST:

On the slide you can see:

• Names of parent organization and implementing organization
• Type and name of work
• Position, and full name of the performer
• Artist contact details
• City and year of presentation

Students after the contact details need to add information about the leader(instead of a line about the educational institution in the example).

note that the design of the first slide is usually different from subsequent ones(the general style is respected), and the topic of the report is framed in the largest font.

Slide title font size must be at least 24, and preferably from 32 and above.

Always include a slide title (for each slide in your presentation). A distracted listener at any moment should understand what your report is about now!

Font size for body text it is better to choose from 24 to 28 (depending on the selected font type).

Less important material (additions and notes) can be designed in font from 20 to 24.


Keep in mind that the screen you'll be showing your presentation on will likely be quite far away from the audience. The presentation will look smaller than what is on your screen at the time of creation.

Move 2-3 meters away from the computer screen and try to read the text in the presentation. If the slides are difficult to read, increase the font size. If the text does not fit on one slide, break it into 2, 3 or more slides (the main thing is that the presentation is easy to view).

Try to find suitable images (photos, graphs, diagrams, etc.)


Remember that the presentation should be visual, and images greatly enhance visibility. Just do not overdo it, images should be replaced by text =)
