What to include in your presentation

1. Tell a story

Listening to history is much more interesting than a dry listing of facts, excerpts from books and statistical data. Turn your presentation into a captivating, imaginative story. So necessary information will be remembered by the listeners.

2. Think about the structure

You need to understand what your presentation will be about and how exactly you will convey information to listeners before you start collecting a document in one of the services. No matter how attractive the design is, if the structure is lame and the facts are presented chaotically, it is unlikely to work.

3. Give preference to images

Today, not everyone likes to read. If text can be replaced with images, do so. Use icons, beautiful photographs, high-quality diagrams and charts. Looking at them is more interesting than reading a large array of text.

4. Remove everything unnecessary

If you can refuse something without compromising the meaning, feel free to do it. By cutting out everything unnecessary, shortening the text, removing distracting effects, you formulate your thoughts more accurately. The clearer your message, the easier it is for the audience to perceive it.

How to make a presentation

1. Forget about outdated PowerPoint templates

If a PowerPoint presentation used to look okay, then with the advent of better templates, it looks outdated. If you plan to use and edit the presentation in the future, it is better to once assemble a “skeleton” from templates in one of the above services or create your own. Then you will only need to change the content - it won’t take much time, but it will allow you to present the material beautifully.

2. Use 3-5 colors

This is a rule that allows you to avoid too colorful design that distracts from the content of the presentation.

There are three basic colors and two additional ones (shades of the main colors, they are used if necessary). The first color is selected for the background, the second and third - for the text. The colors used for the text should be contrasting so that the content will be easy to read.

As a rule, the primary colors include your company's corporate colors. If there are none, you can use one of the color selection sites.

3. Add linear and flat icons

Volumetric, low-quality icons seem to say: “The person who made this presentation is stuck in the 2000s.”

Flat, minimalistic icons will make your presentation more modern and concise, allowing you to clearly present information. This site has thousands of options for stylish icons that can be downloaded for free.

4. Use Sans Serif Fonts

Unless you are a professional designer, it is better to choose simple and readable sans serif fonts. This is a universal option that is suitable for any presentation. Here are a few examples to consider:

• Arial;
• Arial Narrow;
• Arial Black (for titles);
• Calibri;
• Bebas (for titles);
• Roboto;
• Helvetica;
• Open Sans.

In one presentation, it is better to use one group of fonts and change only the style.

5. Choose only high-quality images

People will judge your taste based on the images you choose for your presentation. Today, when there are so many open sources, it is not always possible to manage them wisely. This is best avoided:

• images from search engines;
• stock images with people's tense smiles and white backgrounds;
• low-resolution images (less than 1,000 pixels on the long side).

Look for photos on free photo stocks. There are many of them, you can find the desired picture there in most cases.

6. Insert beautiful tables and charts

All rules described above apply to this item. When making a diagram, choose correct colors, get rid of unnecessary content and save the result in high resolution. Any table or chart in your presentation should be simple, clear, and concise. It is better to leave the background white.

How to give a presentation

1. Rehearse

Rehearsal - good way cope with anxiety and once again organize the information for yourself. Perform in front of a mirror or colleagues - this will help you stay more confident. If possible, use presenter view (like Keynote's). In this mode, slide notes, timing, next slide, and other useful information will be displayed on your computer screen during your presentation.

2. Talk to the audience

A successful presentation is a dialogue, not a monologue. Ask your audience what they think about something, whether they agree with you or have a different opinion. Interactivity will make the speech not only more memorable, but also more productive - both for the speaker and for the audience.

3. Be aware of time

As a rule, the time required for a presentation is calculated from the ratio 1 minute = 1 slide. So, if you have 20 slides, your presentation will take at least 20 minutes. Keep track of the time, because presenting material too quickly will not be effective, and a protracted speech will not please the audience.

If you need to make a presentation, be sure to read this article and find out how to make a presentation on a computer and in what program. Presentations are very popular now; they can clearly emphasize the essence of the report, show graphs and development trends. If you make a good presentation, the information will be absorbed much better than just listening. The presentation can also be made as a congratulation on a birthday, wedding or other event. Presentations are shown at meetings, seminars, lessons, and meetings. Yes, there are many places where this may be needed. Anyway, let's get down to specific information.

What program should I use to make a presentation on a computer?

Most often, a presentation is made on a computer using the PowerPoint program. This program is included in the Microsoft Office software package. So if you have Word installed, then you definitely have PowerPoint. This program can be found through Start in the list of programs. Or you don’t have to look for it and make it much easier. Just right-click on an empty space on your desktop. In the drop-down window, select Create, and then Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation.

Windows after right-clicking on the desktop

Create your presentation in PowerPoint

Open the resulting document. The presentation will consist of slides. To create your first slide, go to the tab Insert and press Create slide(these buttons are located in the upper left corner of the screen).

Tip: don’t put a lot of photos and text on one slide at once. This way the information will not be fully conveyed to the listener. It's better to insert one or two photos and briefly caption them. You must provide the rest of the information orally. Do not forget that a presentation is a visual demonstration of your material, and not a replacement for it.

Fill out all slides with important information

Before you start creating a presentation, you need to think carefully about its content. The presentation must be meaningful, it must contain the main points of the report, and contain visual pictures or graphs. First write your speech on a piece of paper, and then highlight the main points.

Let's figure out how to insert various elements into a presentation.

Go to the tab Insert. There you will immediately see that you can insert a table, pictures, a screenshot of the screen (where it says Snapshot), figures, diagrams.

Clicking on each element will open a window with a list of possible actions. In fact, everything is very simple and intuitive. The table is inserted in the same way as in Word. Click on Table, select the number of columns and rows. Fill out the table. You can choose any color for the table, you can also choose different effects for cells and line thickness.

Inserting a picture is also not difficult. Press Drawings and choose on your computer which image to insert. You can also insert a photo from the Internet by clicking on Images from the Internet. A search window will open where you will need to enter the name of the picture you are looking for.

On the button Figures you will find many different shapes. If there is a need to make a list in frames, build a diagram and create other similar elements, use the button SmartArt. As you can see in the screenshot below, SmartArt has big choice ways to organize information and convey it to the listener.

To insert a chart, click Chart. A window will open where you will need to select the type of chart (bar, pie, histogram, scatter, etc.).

By clicking on Ok, a window from Excel will open, where you will need to enter required numbers into a table so that the program can build a chart or graph correctly.

There are also buttons in the Insert tab Video And Sound. By clicking on them, you can insert video or music from your computer or the Internet onto the slide, and you can also record sound into the microphone.

All inserted elements into the presentation can be moved around the slide, adjusted in size, changed color and made other settings.

Customize the appearance of your presentation

By default, all presentation sheets are white. If necessary, you can give them some color and choose a design. To do this, go to the tab Design. A list of page design options will open. To see all templates, click on the lower triangle next to the last option.

Having selected a template, you can further adjust the color, change the font, and add effects. Next to the design options there will be color options. By clicking on the similar lower triangle, open the window that is highlighted in the blue rectangle in the screenshot. Here you can already play with color, apply effects, change the background style.

Next, as you can see in the screenshot, there is a button Background format. Here you can choose whether the background will be one solid color, you can make a gradient, a pattern, or choose any background pattern. To set an image as the background, check the box. Pattern or texture. Next, select the desired file on your computer or on the Internet.

In addition, in the Background Format you can select various artistic effects, work on the brightness, contrast, saturation of the background image and much more.

Advice: The design in the presentation can be made unique and original. Just don’t get too carried away with various special effects so as not to distract attention from the essence of the issue.

Important!!! The background design is done for each slide separately. If you want the entire presentation to be done like this background image and other effects, select all the slides (they are in the column on the left side of the screen). To select all slides, click on the first one, and then holding Shift, click last. Or, holding Ctrl, click the required slides.

After you are completely satisfied with the design and layout of your slides, you need to choose what kind of transition will be between them. To do this, go to the tab Transitions. There will be a lot various options, try how each of them will look on your presentation and choose the one you need. You can generally make a presentation without a transition. In this case, the slide will replace the slide immediately, without effects.

Another way to diversify your presentation design is through animation. But it is worth remembering that such design is not acceptable for serious reports.

To apply additional effects to text, photos or graphics, go to the tab Animation. Click on the element you want and choose how it will appear on the slide or how it will “go away” when the slide changes. You can also adjust the order and timing of elements appearing. With the help of animation, you can turn your presentation into almost a show.

All you have to do is save the finished presentation by clicking on the button with the image of a floppy disk in the upper left corner. If you need to save the presentation in a different format, go to File—Save as. Select the folder where to save the presentation, then select the desired format in the file type. For example, a presentation can be saved as a video.

Preface:
A presentation is a brief and visual presentation of information that helps the speaker reveal the essence of his work in more detail. Now it is used in many areas of our lives. Therefore, before you start, decide on a plan for your speech. Determine the main goal of your presentation, think about what you will say at the beginning, at the end - and, accordingly, what slides, with what information and in what sequence you will need.
You can create high-quality presentations using PowerPoint. It comes with the standard Microsoft Office package. With it, you can create, view, and show slide shows with text, shapes, images, graphs, animations, charts, videos, and much more.
I will introduce you to the basics of creating a presentation.
When working on a computer, follow the safety requirements:

Progress:
1. Find information on the topic in advance future presentation and load it into a text file.
Save it in a separate folder on your computer.
2. Prepare the necessary images and save them in the same folder.
The images can be your photographs or pictures copied from the Internet.
You can use a scanner and digitize any photograph or drawing.
3. Open the program Microsoft Office PowerPoint
You can do this:
from the main menu Start - All Programs - Microsoft Office PowerPoint
by program shortcut on the desktop;
by the presentation file icon in the folder.

If no one has opened this program on your computer yet, then you should look for it in the folder
Microsoft Office (Start - All Programs - Microsoft Office - Microsoft Office PowerPoint)

Immediately after launch, the first tab called home, here we see an empty slide,
which you can already work with.

“By default”, a slide opens with two text blocks (title and subtitle),
which can be used as a title page.
To change the slide layout, use the command Layout on the tab home and select the appropriate one.

2. To prevent the presentation from being faded, you need to choose an appropriate background.
To do this, go to the tab Design and select the appropriate one. The presentation background can be made
and independently, but this is a topic for another master class.

IN upper block Enter the title of the presentation, and in the bottom - subtitle data (for example, information about the author).

The font size is already set, you can change it a little without forgetting
that the information on the slide should be easy to read.
This can be done in the window Font or using tab commands home

4. To create a second slide, select the command Create slide on the tab home.
If you have already decided what information will be presented on it,
select the appropriate template (header and object, two objects, etc.)

I'll create a slide with two objects and a title.
I will enter some of the information into the title block.
To do this, I will open a text file prepared in advance and copy a fragment of text to the clipboard

and insert this fragment into the top block. You can also enter text from the keyboard.

5. I will insert a picture into the left block by clicking on the corresponding icon.
In the window that opens Inserting a picture I select the desired file.
The image size can be changed by selecting the image and dragging the corner.

6. I will also place text in the right block. Now the second slide is ready.

7. I will create the next slide from Blank slide.

To insert a text block, run the command
Insert – Caption(the mouse pointer will change its appearance)

Place the pointer in Right place slide, press the left mouse button and, while holding it, stretch the rectangle to the desired width. Inside the new text block, enter the required information.
8. To insert a picture, use the command Insert – Drawing.

Select the file in the window of the same name that opens (see photo in paragraph 5)
and move it to the desired location on the slide (resize the image if necessary).

To crop a picture, use the command Size and position(context menu).
I cropped the image a little at the top and bottom. The third slide is ready.

9. Create the remaining slides in the same way.
On the last slide it is customary to indicate sources of information.
If creating a presentation takes a while, do gymnastics.
The exercises are “compact”, you won’t disturb anyone
1. Raise your hands clasped together and stretch, trying to reach the ceiling;
2. Raise your shoulders (pull your head in), move your shoulders back, trying to align your shoulder blades
and release your shoulders (“through your back”), performing a kind of circular movement with your shoulders (4 times);
3. Sit up straight, look into the distance;
turn your head to the right (while looking into the distance);
tilt your head, trying to touch your chin to your shoulder (do not raise your shoulder!!!),
look at your shoulder;
raise your head, look into the distance;
slowly turn your head to the starting position, look straight (into the distance)
Repeat the exercise with a twist to the other shoulder.
4. Roll from toe to heel (although this can be done while working)
10. Be sure to save the presentation you created.
This is such a simple presentation.
There is no animation, transition between slides is carried out “by click”,
the visual and text series on the slide changes automatically, along with the previous one.
I will try to talk about setting up animation in the next master class.
I apologize in advance to IT technology specialists, maybe I used the wrong terms...
...I'm self-taught, so please don't throw away mice and keyboards...
It’s better to write in the comments what’s wrong.
Thank you for your attention.

Many people don't know how to make a presentation. There are two ways to create it in Windows7:

1. Run photos through a standard slide show.
2. By using Microsoft programs Power Point.

Power Point is better because of its large set of tools and many features. The article describes step-by-step instruction how to make a presentation on a computer.

Also don't forget that you can easily!

In order to make a high-quality presentation on a computer, we need the Power Point program. It should be in the Microsoft Office package along with windows program 10. If necessary, it can be downloaded from the Internet. We will also need text and other information necessary for the presentation (images and videos).

In order to make a presentation in Power Point, we will need slides. You can create any number of them. But if you want your article not to be boring, it is recommended to select 10-15 slides, with a maximum of tables, graphs and pictures, and a minimum of text.

Important! If we want to make our presentation cool, we should decorate it.

Let's start with the topic. It is located in the "Design" tab. The theme you choose will change the design of all slides. But if you only want the theme to appear on some slides, you can right-click and select the Apply to Selected Slides Only section. This way you can make different themes for each slide.

To make a presentation on a laptop, we need:

1. Text.
2. Images.
3. Charts tables.
4. Video.
5. Animations.
6. Music.

Adding text

Printed or copied from a computer. You can create a hyperlink in your presentation. To do this you need:

1. Select text.
2. Click the right mouse button.
3. Select the “Hyperlink” item.
4. Below, enter the address of the required Internet page.

You can start processing it. The toolbar for working with text is similar to the standard one Microsoft word. You can:

1. Select the required text size.
2. Give it a specific color.
3. Make it bold or semi-bold, and underline it.
4. Change font.
5. Align text (left, right, or center).
6. Create lists (numbered or bulleted).

Attention! You won't be able to wrap text around it. But you can insert text anywhere on the slide.

Adding pictures

Now you can insert an image. There are 2 ways:

1. Select a picture or drawing in the “Insert” section.
2. You can add it directly to the slide. In the “slide text” field, we will see six small icons. One of them is for inserting a photo.

We can change the size of the picture or its location. To do this, you need to use dots and squares around. You can also place a picture in the background, thus printing text on top of it.

For both methods, an explorer window will open, through which we can find the photo we need on the computer.

Attention. Functions for wrapping text around a picture inPower Point Not yet. Perhaps it will be invented in the future. But there are many options for imitation. For example, you can make text above, to the right and left of it, and below it.

Adding graphs, charts and tables

They can also be used in a presentation. The table can be copied from Microsoft Excel or draw it yourself. In any case, we need to go to the section – insert – tab – table.

If you choose Excel, the table will be the same as in Microsoft Excel.

If you decide to draw it yourself, set the number of columns and rows. You can change the size of the table and cells. Now you need to fill it in with the necessary information.

In order to make a chart, we need to create a slide and click on the add chart icon. A window will appear to select its type. The most common:

1. Circular.
2. Bar chart.
3. Schedule.

After selecting the desired chart, an Excel window will appear. We need to fill the table with information. After this, we automatically have a diagram. You don't need to draw anything.

How to make a background in a powerpoint presentation

A presentation needs a background. This is a color fill around the text. It is important that it is not very bright so that people can see the written text. The background color can be any. Just select the one you need in the toolbar.

In order to make a background, we need to right-click on a place in the presentation where there is no text. Select the "Background Format" section. You will see 4 background options:

1. Solid fill. The background will be the same color.
2. Gradient fill. The background will consist of several colors. For example, there is blue on top, which will gradually change brightness, turning into red. You can also set the background type (color changes from top to bottom, right to left, or from one corner to another). You can also set gradient points. That is, establish where exactly the blue or red colors will be.
3. Pattern or texture. There will be patterns on the background. For example, drops of water or fish on the sand.
4. Pattern fill. The background will be in the form of lines, dots or various shapes. You can set their color yourself.

Options 2 and 3 are considered the most beautiful. The second allows you to create a background with several colors at the same time. The third is to make beautiful patterns on the slide.

You can also use the picture as a background for your presentation. To do this, go to section 3 “Pattern or texture”. Below the “Insert from” function there will be a “File” button. Click on it. A explorer will open for us, where we can select a photo.

Making a plan

To make a beautiful presentation, we need a plan. Prepare your text and photos in advance. It is also recommended to make an outline of the slides (what will be at the beginning and what will be at the end). Thanks to the plan, we will understand how to make a presentation correctly.

Making a title page

This will be the basis of the presentation. The title page should be as beautiful as possible and entice people to look further. Please pay attention to the following aspects:

1. Background color. White is recommended, but you can choose it according to your preference. The most important thing is to pay attention to the text, not the background. It is also recommended to refrain from sound effects.
2. The text size should be large. For the title, 30 font size is suitable. For regular text – 22.
3. It is necessary that the title page be in the form of a landscape sheet, that is, horizontal.

The title page consists of a title and a subtitle. If necessary, you can add pictures or other subheadings.

What exactly should be on the title page?

If you want a good presentation, here's what you should do:

1. The name of your project.
2. Your initials. Last name, first name and position.
3. Briefly – the goals of your project. The significance of the problem posed, as well as the results that need to be achieved.

For header on title page It would be appropriate to use a “WordArt” object. These objects allow you to make your text more beautiful. For example, with a color tint. To apply this function, you need to go to the “Insert” tab and select capital letter"A" on the toolbar. Now we choose which object we want to use.

How to make slides for a presentation

To create a new slide, you need to right-click on the left window and select “Create Slide”. Another way is to select the function we need in the toolbar. The new slide will have the following structure:

1. Side title.
2. Slide text.

In the “Slide Text” section you can write text, insert a table, graph or image.

The slide structure can be changed. To do this, go to the “Slide Layout” menu. There are 9 structure options in total:

1. Front page. The very first page of the presentation. It can be recreated if the presentation covers two separate topics.
2. Title and object. Standard slide with title and text. Instead of text there can be a graph, chart, image or table.
3. Section title. If we only need the section title, without any information.
4. Two objects. Suitable if you need two types of text or two photos on the slide at the same time.
5. Comparison. The structure is similar to the previous one. But here there is still a place where you can write the results of the comparison. They are located above the images or texts on the right and left sides.
6. Header only. Suitable as a title slide if you only need the title, without unnecessary information.
7. Blank slide. This is done if you need to separate one information from another. You can add a background image to blank slides. There is no text.
8. An object with a signature. Consists of three parts. On the left is the title of the text and the text itself. On the right is the picture, table or graph we need.
9. Drawing with signature. There will be a photo on the slide, and under it there will be a place for a signature. Such slides do not include large text. If you need a long description, would be better suited second point. For short descriptions, a drawing with a caption will be indispensable.

How to make a video presentation (add video)

To add a video, we need to go to the “Insert” and “Select Video” section. There will be a choice between inserting a video from a file or from a website. We choose what we need. Using Explorer, find the video on your computer and insert it. Now we will have to wait a little because the videos take quite a long time to load.

You can add a video on each of the slides.

How to make a presentation with music?

You can also add sound or music to the Power point.

To make a presentation with music, in the “Insert” section, select “Sound”. Then the subsection “Sound from file”. A explorer will open for us to select music on the computer. If you want the sound to be present on all slides, select “Play”, “Start” section, “For all slides”.

You can also set the desired volume. To do this, go to the “Playback” tab, “Volume” section.

When you add audio, a small icon appears on your slides. You can remove it by checking the box next to “Hide when shown.”

We use animation, effects and transitions

A simple presentation with slides on your computer (slideshow)

It is not necessary to create a presentation in Power Point. If you have a series of images that you want to show, you can simply run them as a slideshow. To do this, you will have to go to the folder where the images we need are located and press the F11 key. Or select the “Slide Show” menu at the bottom of the screen. The images will change with a mouse click.

Disadvantages of this method:

1. It is impossible to set the transition time from one slide to another. You have to constantly change them manually.

How to make a video from a presentation?

You can turn your presentation into a video. For this we need:

1. Sound (music, or recorded text message).
2. Animation. Present when changing slides.
3. Time. You need to set how long after the slide changes.
4. Images. What you want to show the audience.

At its core, a presentation with the listed parameters is already considered a video. But it can be completely remade into a video. There are two ways:

1. Save presentation in MP format
2. Save using a PowerPoint demo file (PPSX). If you open such a file, the presentation will be displayed as a slide show in full screen.

Showing the presentation

Once you've done everything you need to, it's worth testing how your presentation will perform. To start the slide show, press F5. Now you can transfer the presentation to a flash drive.
