8 ways to make a PPT that suck less.. • Avoiding death by PowerPoint • There are in fact only 2 intentions of a PPT • As a presentation to support the speaker ( less context more high level ) • With the intention of letting readers to review it on their own ( more context and annotations ) • Establish Credibility • Depict your past experience or recognition on the 1st slide (ie. Organization logos which is relevant. Like Government recognition for instance) • My take on this : “Act small when you’re big, act big when you’re small”
8 ways to make a PPT that suck less.. • What’s your story? • Past, present, future • Story are less dull and appeals more to your audience • Present “Naked” • Do not depend too much on your slides. Remember, some of the good speakers don’t need a slide at all. • > Conversation , < monologue • More is less • Avoid lengthy slides, leave some room for discussion • People should stop trying to show how POWERful they are and just get to the POINT.
8 ways to make a PPT that suck less.. • Image > Text • Audience follow on a different pace • Human digest graphics easier • PPT isn’t an art • Compose images with proper relevancy • Do not let the images overwhelm and deviate from your initial objective • Talk like a TED speaker • Accentuate your points • Engaging audience Watch TEDxEast : Structure to a great talk (http://bit.ly/o6nxSb)
Hands on We would be covering some basics of PPT today: • Creating a simple PPT template • Create a PPT with the template (including Video and image embedding) • Using the powerful ‘Presenter View’
Creating a simple PPT template • With a new PPT, Click the ‘View’ Ribbon on the Toolbar • Select the ‘SlideMaster’ option • Let’s dwell into the PPT SlideMaster and start to design our very own template!
Creating a simple PPT template • Note the difference for the ‘Slide Master’ and ‘Slide Layout’ • Slide Master – Whatever changes added here would be copied across all ‘Slide Layout’ • Slide Layout – Inherits the ‘Slide Master’ design but overriding is allowed.
Creating a simple PPT template • Design your Template • Add logo to header • Change the title style • Add a line across • Add footer with corporate branding • Remove the ‘date’ placeholder • Align disclaimer to the far left * Notice the changes above would also apply to all sub layouts
Creating a simple PPT template • Click on ‘Close Slide Master View’ • Click on the ‘Home’ Ribbon and select the ‘New Slide’ option • Notice the layout in the pop up box, these are the pages we have created just now. • Hola! We can start creating our slides with a streamlined template
Create a PPT with the template • Click on ‘New Slide’ > ‘Title Only’
Create a PPT with the template • Lets insert an image from a website into your slides • Select Online Pictures • Select Office.com Clipart
Create a PPT with the template • Select an image and resize it to the desired dimension
Create a PPT with the template • Next, we would insert a video • To do so, Select the ‘Insert’ Ribbon > Select ‘Video’ > ‘Video on My PC’ • Select a sample video > Open • Resize the video at wish
Create a PPT with the template • The outcome would be as below
Using the powerful ‘Presenter View’ • Essentially, the enhanced ‘Presenter View’ in PPT 2013 enables a separate screen from the main screen that allows user to make changes and annotations on the fly • Select the ‘Slideshow’ ribbon > tick ‘Use Presenter View’
Using the powerful ‘Presenter View’ • Press the ‘F5’ key Main Screen – Audience View Speaker Screen – Notes, annotations,settings
That’s it! • Thanks for your kind attention and please stay tuned for the Week 3 session next week. • Good day! • Prepared by : Jermaine
