T or F – Its OK to read bullets from screen! FALSE! Research shows that people understand a multimedia presentation better when the words are presentat as verbal narration alone, instead of verbally and as ON-screen text.Think of some bad presentations you have sat through. What made them boring? Now, think of some great presentations – what made them so great?
Logical and precise, left-brain thinking gave us the Information Age. Now comes the Conceptual Age - ruled by artistry, empathy, and emotion.Wired Magazine - The world changed. The future no longer belongs to people who can reason with computer-like logic, speed, and precision. It belongs to a different kind of person with a different kind of mind.Asia, Automation, and Abundancehttp://www.wired.com/wired/archive/13.02/brain_pr.html (Dan Pink)
Time, time of Day? Audience, Background? What do you want the audience to do? What is the purpose of the talk? Is there a story here? – How many slides, text per slide bullets per slide is not important – If presentation successful – the audience will have no idea how many slides you used – nor will they care!
Pay attention to the design of the next presentation Look at the SequenceEmotionImageryTextVoice?
Information overload
We reduce information into small meaningful chunksWe then fit these chunks into categories we already understand, or create new categoriesTelling a story helps the audience reduce it to manageable chunksMake your Demo a story
Research has found that visuals can improve learning, but only if they illustrate the point in which you are making. You must choose graphics that relate to the specific point at hand – they tell a major part of the story.
A couple - Direct the eye with images…. If you sues images with people, be sure not to guide their eyes away from what you want them to see.
This is an example of empty space. With clean backgrounds – the eye naturally goes to the image first – then the test. Remove the text. Empty space is not nothing, it is a powerful something
Means difference – we are wired to notice them! Making use of contrast can help you create a design in which one item is clearly dominant. This helps the viewer get the point quickly.
Example Bad contrast design
Designs with strong contrast attract interest and help the viewer make sense of the visual. Weak contrast is not only boring but confusing!
Don’t use cheesy graphics…. Think Audience and age appropriateness. Use professional looking photos
Or is this? Create slides that demonstrate, with emotional proof, that what you’re saying is true and accurate
Avoid - . Too many colors 6. Overused gradation 7. Weak visual communication
Do you want to be remembered this way?Make slides that reinforce your words, not repeat them
