E.What is a good Powerpoint presentation?

I wouldn't say that all presentations are always perfect; there is always a room for improvement. I presented last week during our Issues in Publication & Design (IPD) class and noticed that I can improved further.

Last week, I wasn’t prepared enough for the presentation which result me into just reading the slides blindly. Russell (n.d.) states that when you present your business presentation, the most vital thing is to know your material because if you don’t know anything about what you’re selling, the audience won’t even bother to buy.



(Source: Oon Shui Mei's Assignment 1[IPD])

A good scientific and technical writing is “It is written for a direct and specified purpose that should remain unchanged and conveyed without information loss, regardless of its audience”(Rothman 2005). Thus, the points written at the PowerPoint slide should be clear cut and able to allow the audience to understand. Furthermore, Putnis and Petelin (1996, p.226) mentioned that when we speak, the ‘words are accompanied and assisted by the tone, pitch, volume, rate, and rhythm of our voice. We emphasise and punctuate with our gestures, our eyes, and our facial expressions’.

Reep (2006, p.134) said that readers also read the visual presentation of the text, not just the printed words on a page. This shows that how you arrange the words and structure will affect the viewpoint of the audience.

There are several tips from sources that I’ve search online which I would like to share with my fellow blog readers. A good PowerPoint presentation (Marquez 2010):

1. Easy for the audience to read
2. Clear title on each slide
3. Simple and bright background
4. Images such as graphic and charts
5. Stay focus and right on track
6. Don’t include too many slides
7. Try to speak clearly
8. Give the audience opportunity to ask
9. Future follow up

The purpose of creating this weblog is to discuss the issues in publications and design in terms of publishing and media related issues. This blog acts as an intermediary to connect me and the “netizens” to discuss about the current media publishing and issues in design by relating forms, context and functions to theories that we learn in this course. (Issues in Publication & Design)

The weblog hosted by blogger makes it easier for people like you and me to voice out our opinions and thoughts on issues that concerns us. We Malaysians do enjoy the ‘freedom of speech and expressions as provided by provided by Article 10 of the Federal Constitution’ (National Evangelical Christian Fellowship Malaysia 2006).

I am trying to target the younger generation such as my peers to look deeply into the issues regarding publications and designs. It is vital to educate my peers and share information concerning the publishing issues.
