Presentations

Impressed by the post , Rosatom Group of Companies, an innovator in the introduction of the presentation creation system, decided to describe the methodology for creating a competent presentation.


In my opinion, presentations are used in two areas:

1. Actually the presentations themselves for companies, projects, products - yes anything (let's call it conditionally Presentation "P" ).
2. Presentations in the field of education (let's call it conditionally Presentation "O" ) - to create a review of a lesson, a seminar.

Presentation "O"

• You do not care about time - your time is the time of a lecture / seminar
• You especially don’t worry about the effects - it just is often not necessary
• You do not need to think about the amount of text - in fact you put the maximum amount of information so that the listeners could find almost everything they need

However, what should be soared for effective use of the Presentation "O":

• Content
• Availability of review : for the last lecture (if it has a periodicity) at the beginning of the lecture and review of the read at the end of the lecture
• Style unity
• It is also worth taking care to save the presentation in pdf format.

Presentation "P"

Step one

prepare a template
Here you can take ready or make yourself, the main goal is to make a single style for:

• caps
• framework
• futter

Download or make pictures that fit the style, and of course the content.

Step Two

Content
Content should always be (in one form or another) - In this regard, a small competition - “Find content in the presentation of Rosatom (at the very beginning of the topic)”
Main structure:

1. Introduction
2. Who - representing yourself, a project or a company
3. Why - the designation of the problem, objectives, goals
4. How - the stages of the decision, construction, execution
5. Result
6. Conclusion

Step Three

Cover
Specifying the topic, organization, author, date and place - this is the main content of the cover.
DO NOT do everything in one size , the topic should be larger - the author is small.
It is quite possible to use a logo as an organization - I would say it is even better.
The background picture should be good for causing, but not too much, as well as be consistent with the overall style. If you do not find anything suitable - use a white background.

Step Four

Filling content according to the content
The basic rule - do not need a lot of text!
The same advice - visualize the text , such elements as: text, changing the font, frame, turning the text - are perfect for this.
For example:

Step five

Structure
Be sure to include slide numbers , preferably in the number slide format / total slides

1. There are two reasons for this - it is easier for listeners to remember the slide number than all its contents for asking a question at the end
2. Whatever the listeners think “Damn, when will this presentation end”. By itself, the presentation of P should not be long - but if it is too long - there should be reasons for it.

Last slide : Listeners' Gratitude and Questions at the End
My friend once said, “Well, let’s see if they are professionals or not, if thanks at the end or not.” - Be professional - thank your listeners!
Questions if you don’t want of course that you would be constantly asked during the presentation, constantly collecting you from your idea. Do not allow this - specifically allocate some time to all the questions end.
For more questions - meet after the presentation with people and give them your e-mail in contacts on the first slide, and on the last - that they could ask questions.

Step Six

Visualization of your content
Feel free to use the full power of animation and 3D for graphics and images.
If you draw some graphs, make them as pleasant as possible for perception - but be careful with 3D graphics!
Several links to useful web applications for efficient visualization.
amcharts
ManyEye from IBM
of course all sorts of Google API and more convenient application for this Hohli
charts.hohli.com
and don't forget about the video - for an effective presentation, for explaining an idea or a concept, you can also
use video

Step Seven - Final

Review
The usual opinion about the creation of the presentation - "And in two hours I will do it - with a beer will pull"
In my opinion, it is more optimal to distribute the work into 3 blocks.
1 block - Step One
Block 2 - Steps 2-6
3 block - The Seventh Step - it is better after some time after the second one, to look at what you have done all the same
