Week6 businesswriting
- 1. Crafting Superior Presentations LESS IS MORE
- 2. Brevity is glorious Mental tally, how many bulleted lists do you have? They sound good at first Then as they grow they become drab Continually droning on Putting everyone to sleep See how boring this is?
- 3. Breakup the bullet points Don’t worry, they’ll find another soul mate Give them their own slide, supplement with high quality pictures. Avoid this, and take a closer look
- 4. Can you read that? I can’t. Color is key. Contrasting text and background colors, such as orange and blue allow your information to POP
- 5. Few bullets? Check. Good color? Check. Animations… Use sparingly, else it’s childish And nauseating.
- 6. Don’t read me… To your audience that is. Presentations are a supplement
- 7. Embrace technology Use hyperlinks to connect audiences to additional information. Videos do this on a higher level.
- 8. Continue with technology Enabling your presentation to be viewed online allows access across all devices (laptop, computer, phone, tablet, etc.). Use alternative softwares like Prezi or Vuvox They allow for “outside the box” thinking Introduce creativity and non-linear-ness into presentations
- 9. Wrap it up Minimal words and bullets Contrasting, lovely colors Limited, professional animations Treat presentations as a supplement not a foundation Embrace technology
