Transcription de la présentation

  1. PowerPoint Presentations Some Things to Consider With Emphasis on Things to Avoid! R. L. Erion South Dakota State University

  2. PowerPoint provides a tremendous variety of special effects. Of course, all that power is easily abused.

  3. Areas to Be Covered Really irritating effects Ways to Make Text Hard to Read Now That You’ve Prepared the Presentation, What Else Can You Do to Make it Unbearable?

  4. Sound Effects with Transitions Cool Noises asEach Slide Changes (avoid by selecting “no sound” ) Really Irritating Effects

  5. Really Irritating Effects • Noises as Animated Text Comes In • May be best to avoid Typewriter and Laser Text. They are particularly bad when the text is relatively long and is brought in by letter.

  6. Really Irritating Effects • Visual Effects • “Drop In” is quite annoying with relatively long text segments. Crawling under “Custom Animation” can be excruciating. Did Andy Rooney ever discover “Custom Animation?” There is a lot to complain about.

  7. One wouldn’t want to leave out video that is too small and poorly conceived... And ends up leaving you in the dark! Generally it is better to make a link to a file that opens in Windows Media Player.

  8. Ways to Make Text Hard to Read • Poor Choice of Font • Mismatch with Background • Failure to Plan for Lighting • Too Small

  9. Poor Choice of Font • PowerPoint offers the opportunity to use WordArt. Not always a wise choice. There are also a lot of fonts to choose from such as Brush Script MT, Old English Text, Stencil, Playbill, andLucida Calligraphy. Many are hard to read. Aren’t you glad that text can come in word by word with Custom Animation?

  10. Other Ways to Make TextDifficult to Read The Quick Styles choices provide several ways to make text harder to read. • Italics, glowing, and reflection can all cause some trouble. One can play with colors here as well, which brings us to...

  11. Mismatch with Background • The choice of colors can make a big difference. • Backgrounds which have both light and dark areas can be particularly troublesome.

  12. Failure to Plan for Lighting

  13. Size of Text • Generally recommended that the text go no smaller than 18. • Making thingssmaller can create problems for some people.

  14. Now That You’ve Prepared the Presentation, What Else Can You Do to Make it Unbearable? Even if you have failed to use any really annoying things from PowerPoint, you can still make the presentation an unpleasant experience.

  15. PowerPoint has given us something even worse than doing a presentation by reading a paper. • Reading the slides to people can be annoying. People will be unhappy if you have to read the slides (because the text is too small or the projector too dim). • People will be really annoyed if the slides are wonderfully legible and you read to them anyway. Of course, you could read each slide at least twice...
