What is a presentation

A presentation is a way of sharing information, ideas, or a message with an


audience, usually in an organized format. It can take many forms, including series of
slides or a speech that conveys information, motivates, or inspires an audience,
demonstrations or interactive discussions, and is commonly used in educational,
business, professional and social settings. Presentations can be used to introduce a
new product, build goodwill, or persuade an audience.
• Purpose: A specific goal or message the presenter wants to
convey, such as informing, persuading, or entertaining.
• Audience: The group of people the presentation is intended
for, which influences the style, content, and delivery.
• Content: The main ideas, facts, visuals, and examples that
support the presentation’s purpose.
• Structure: A clear beginning, middle, and end to organize
the information logically.
• Delivery: The manner in which the presenter
communicates, including their tone, body language, and
engagement with the audience.

Designing a presentation.

Designing a presentation involves thoughtful planning and creativity


to ensure your content is clear, engaging, and visually appealing
1.Define Your Purpose and Audience
Objective: Know whether the presentation is
meant to inform, persuade, or entertain.
Audience: Tailor your design choices to your
audience’s preferences, knowledge level, and
expectations.
2. Choose a Consistent Theme and Layout
Template: Use a consistent template or theme to
ensure a cohesive look throughout the slides.
Font Style: Choose easy-to-read fonts. Generally, a sans-
serif font (like Arial or Helvetica) is best for
presentations.
Color Scheme: Select 2-3 main colors that complement
each other and reflect your topic’s tone. For example,
corporate presentations may use muted or neutral
colors, while educational ones might be brighter.
3. Structure Your Content
Introduction Slide: Clearly state the topic, your name, and
possibly a subtitle that describes the presentation's
purpose.
Agenda Slide: Outline the key sections or points to provide a
roadmap.
Main Content Slides: Break up content into sections with
titles and keep text concise. Each slide should focus on
one main idea.
Conclusion Slide: Summarize key takeaways and end with a
call to action or closing thought.
4. Use Visual Hierarchy
Headings and Subheadings: Use larger, bold text
for headings to help organize the information.
Bullet Points and Short Sentences: Simplify text
with bullet points and short, impactful
sentences to maintain audience focus.
Whitespace: Leave space around text and images
to avoid clutter and make the content easier to
read.
Add Engaging Visuals
Images: Use high-quality images relevant to your
content. Avoid excessive stock photos, and opt for
images that enhance understanding.
Charts and Graphs: Display data with charts, graphs,
or info graphics to simplify complex information.
Icons: Use icons to represent key points visually and
add interest without distracting from the main
message.
6. Focus on Consistent Transitions and
Animations
Simple Transitions: Use subtle transitions
between slides to keep flow smooth and avoid
distractions.
Limited Animations: If using animations, keep
them simple and purposeful—avoid overuse,
as this can detract from professionalism.
7. Maintain Readability
Font Size: Ensure fonts are large enough to read
from a distance. Generally, 28-32 pt for
headings and 18-24 pt for body text works
well.
Contrast: Make sure text and background colors
contrast well to improve readability. Dark text
on a light background or vice versa is usually
ideal.
Practice and Refine
Rehearse: Practice delivering the presentation to
gauge timing and flow.
Seek Feedback: Get input from peers or
colleagues to see if the design and content are
clear and engaging.
Make Adjustments: Refine based on feedback,
checking for any design inconsistencies or areas
to improve.
