Best Usage of PowerPoint

Best Usage of PowerPoint

We were taught how to use PowerPoint in my 4th Grade, so you might be wondering whats so difficult in using PowerPoint, Most of the users arent aware of some techniques and etiquettes for building killer PowerPoint presentations

The primary objective of designing a presentation would be choosing or making a good Template or layout. Most of them think PowerPoint design doesnt make a difference its is only the content everyone is concerned about, But its 100 percent false, Design impacts 30% effect on viewers as per a medical survey

Designing a Presentation cannot be that easy. It requires designing skills. Premade PowerPoint templates are the best platforms to lay your presentation without much effort. PowerPoint Templates are available on the web for free download. Most of them doesnt require registration or any hassle. Why waste hours in designing while they are available at your mouse click. If you are considered about uniqueness, you dont need to worry because there are thousands of unique PowerPoint presentations available. It is unlikely that any of your viewer has seen the template before

If you want to design the template yourself to show your signature style and authenticity, you will need creativity and designing, illustration skills. Background is the primary element of the design, Web offers thousands of free PowerPoint Backgrounds to choose from. You can use them on your slides and lay a layout for your slide. It is still advisable to use premade PowerPoint templates because it saves hours of time you can invest in writing and moulding the most important aspect, the content of your presentation

Background image is also primary. You can add background styles for instance images, textures and patterns in your slides. These are a simple method to make your presentation be noticed but again, make sure that ones background doesnt affect the actual visibility of any text or graphics that you put on the fall. If you do opt to add a background image then it might be wise to make it transparent so that it appears as a pale watermark.

PowerPoint Templates will also give a quick overview of how you can design the layout and elements for your slides, so you can implement few ideas yourself. Besides the Design, you also need to focus on placeholders, font sizes and legibility. Never use bright on bright or Dark on Dark text vs Background Colors. It makes the text almost illegible, If you are planning to add videos to the presentation, make sure they are present on local directory so that you need not worry about internet connection for streaming videos.
