Markus is excited! He can present his new ideas to his boss!
Markus hopes that his presentation will be impressive.
Therefore, he wants to make a digital presentation.
But Markus doesn’t know what to put into the presentation
to make it attractive for the audience.
Don’t worry, Markus! We have a look at it together!
Digital presentations are visual support for lectures and presentations.
There are many different programmes to make digital presentations.
• PowerPoint (Microsoft) • Keynote (Apple),
• Impress (LibreOffice), • Google Präsentationen (Google)
With these programmes, you can put pictures, graphics and text into your presentation.
Presentations help to make thoughts and contents better understandable.
The content of a presentation slide consists of: - Key words
- Big and impressive pictures
Bad content for a presentation is: - Continuous text
- Long sentences - Big charts
If you are presenting the content your audience should not
read the content directly from the slides.
You explain the key words on the presentation in your own words.
Imagine that every slide is an empty sheet.
You write words and adds pictures. That way, it helps you tell a story.
Your presentation is more interesting with pictures.
There are pre-set designs which include font colour and background.
If you make a presentation for your company,
your company has guidelines for presentations. Use them.
If you use pictures from the internet for your presentation
Ask yourself: do I have the right to use these pictures?
If there is written: CC0 next to the picture,
That means that you can use the picture.
You don’t have to fulfill any conditions.
But, if next to a picture is written: CC BY
That means that you are allowed to use the picture.
But you do have to indicate who the picture is from.
You can also add notes to your presentation.
The notes are only visible for you, not for your audience.
These notes remind you what you want to tell about the slides.
Keep in mind that if you use a different computer for your presentation
to make sure that you can open your presentation.
It is best to have the presentation as a pdf as well.
This can be opened on most computers.
If your presentation is over and you want to share your slides
with the audience, share it as a pdf.
This way the presentation can’t be changed.
Here are 4 tips for your presentation:
1. Write small amounts of text per slide.
2. Choose a big, well-readable font.
3. Use strong pictures Don’t use too many details.
4. Always keep to your topics
Markus is relieved! That’s simple.
