  3. Multimedia Multimedia is defined as the seamless digital integration of text, graphics, animation, audio, still images and motion video that provides individual users with high levels of control and interaction.

  4. Multimedia Types • The most commonly known multimedia types are: • Web hypermedia • Computer games • Digital art • Multimedia encyclopedia

  5. Match Design to Purpose • Decide if your presentation is meant to entertain, inform, persuade, or sell. • Is a light-hearted or a more formal approach most appropriate to the subject and your audience? Keep colors, clip art, and templates consistent with your main objective.

  6. POWERPOINT PURPOSE PowerPoint presentations is to present information not overwhelm the audience with a demonstration of all the software bells and whistles. PowerPoint is similar to using a page layout program. The software is merely a tool. Avoid the typical pitfalls of PowerPoint presentations with purpose, simplicity, and consistency.

  7. Keep It Simple • As with any design, cut the clutter. Two font families is a good rule of thumb. • No more than one graphic image or chart per slide. • Another good rule is (excluding any corporate logo or other recurring element in the design).

  8. Slide Layout Keep important information near the top of the slide. The bottom portions of slides cannot be seen from the back rows because heads are in the way. Make your slides easy to follow Put the title at the top of the slide where your audience expects to find it. Phrases should read left to right and top to bottom.

  9. Fonts Choose a font that is simple and easy to read such as Arial, Times New Roman or Verdana.

  10. Fonts Avoid script type fonts as they are hard to read on screen. Use no more than two different fonts – perhaps one for headings and another for content. Keep all fonts large enough (at least 24 pt and preferably 30 pt) so that people at the back of the room will be able to easily read what is on the screen.

  11. Deadly Sins of PowerPoint Presentations • These become the focus of attention, which in turn distracts the audience. • Leave the fade-ins, fade-outs, wipes, blinds, dissolves, checkerboards, cuts, covers and splits to Hollywood filmmakers. Focus on your message, not the technology. Slide Transitions And Sound Effects Standard Clipart • Make certain that you need graphics to enhance your message. If you do, use your own scanned photographs or better-quality graphics .

  12. Conclusion • Today we covered the following: • The definition of multimedia • Types of multimedia • Purpose of PowerPoint presentations • Keeping it Simple • Slide Layout • Fonts • The deadly sins of PowerPoint presentations
