  1. Creating PresentationsA presentation of two halves Bruce Scharlau Computing Science Department

  2. Outline • Need a message • Focus on the message • Follow the rules • Avoid the pain

  4. Templates • Templates get you started quickly • Templates need to be modified to work with your theme

  5. Look and Feel • Templates focus on look and feel of your presentation • You need to make them work with the content too

  6. The message • Your templates should support the message you’re presenting • The message has to be clear and not cluttered

  7. Rules to follow • There are three rules to follow for good presentations • Introduce your topic • Explain your topic • Review your topic

  8. Controversy • Some say that PowerPoint is useless • Others say it puts people to sleep

  9. Summary • Following the rules should keep your audience awake and guide you to a successul presentation

  10. And now for something completely different…

  11. A presentation should have one message Get the Ark, or save the kids, or find the Grail - not all at once http://www.flickr.com/photo_zoom.gne?id=573291733&size=o

  12. The PowerPoint templates don’t ensure a consistent message http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2007/09/steve-bill-redu.html

  13. The templates focus on look and feel, but not the message http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2007/09/steve-bill-redu.html

  14. You need to keep the message clear http://www.presentationzen.com/presentationzen/2007/09/steve-bill-redu.html

  15. There are some basic rules to follow for good presentations It may look hard, but it’s not really http://www.flickr.com/photos/dunechaser/567753250/in/set-72057594083213751/

  16. First, use complete sentences as titles Full sentences force you to clarify your ideas Right, Steve, and it makes it easier for others too http://www.flickr.com/photos/dunechaser/160405659/in/set-72057594116462049/

  17. Sentences force the author to clarify ideas Headings leave room to waffle

  18. Sentences as titles will still work on their own Headings are ambiguous

  19. Sentences make the storyboard clearer Sentences develop the plot

  20. Second, add an appropriate image to reinforce the message I can do anything with a greenscreen http://flickr.com/photos/dunechaser/345032729/

  21. An image should illustrate the point of the slide http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2005/06/kill_your_prese.html

  22. Try different images to set the correct tone of the presentation http://www.flickr.com/photos/dunechaser/103294071/ http://www.summerglau.co.uk/gallery/summer-in-serenity/index.php?imgDisplay=Serenity-(60).jpg

  23. Mixing images with words makes the slide more memorable http://headrush.typepad.com/creating_passionate_users/2006/01/crash_course_in.html

  24. Third, use the notes to explain your slides

  25. Notes help you remember the words you will say for that slide

  26. Notes also provide a handout

  27. Notes provide a presentation for when you’re not there

  28. Fourth, use a rule of three’s to support your message • Point • Sub-point • Sub-point • Sub-point • Point • Sub-point • Sub-point • Sub-point • Point • Sub-point • Sub-point • Sub-point

  29. Your presentation has three acts (just like a movie) http://www.sociablemedia.com/thebook_resources.php4

  30. The second act needs supporting evidence to develop the argument of the plot http://indexed.blogspot.com/2007/06/just-desserts-or-drive-thru-value-meal.html

  31. PowerPoint presentations don’t have to be painful Pain, what pain? http://flickr.com/photos/oskay/265899841/

  32. You can also add extra dimensions to make the presentation stick Simple Unexpected Concrete Stories Credible Emotional http://www.madetostick.com/

  33. Remember to deliver one message and you’ll do fine Escape the ball, find the treasure, save the girl, not all at once http://flickr.com/photos/dunechaser/665480669/
