power points

A good power point can be a very useful tool when giving a presentation. However, if the presentation is dull and boring it doesn’t help the presentation at all. In fact, I automatically zone out if the power point is boring. Repeating bullet points from the slide is one of the most boring things anyone can do during a presentation. I would much rather see pictures or charts and have the presenter explain them to me. The backgrounds also sever as a way to keep the attention of the audience. Grey, solid backgrounds are uninteresting. Changing to brighter colors or using the themes on power point makes the slides more exciting. The font used makes an impression on the audience. Times new roman font makes the power point more businesslike and official. Other fonts, like comic sans, are less formal, giving it a more fun appearance.

My ideas for an awesome power point:
1. Use interesting backgrounds (themes, bright colors, etc.)
2. Use pictures or graphs.
3. Do NOT just go over bullet points.
4. Use videos.
5. Use a font that fits the theme of the power point.
