The presentation allows you to interest the audience and facilitate the perception of the material. When creating slides, choosing their design and order, it should be remembered that the main thing in the lecture is not a beautifully appeared picture, but the text.
General structure and organization of the presentation
In order to make a high-quality presentation for a lecture, you must confidently use the Power Point program and have a pre-formulated goal, purpose and content of the lecture. The presentation should help the audience to quickly and easily assimilate the material, the main theses of your speech, without being too distracted by the external side of the presentation.
Having prepared the text of the lecture, try to divide it into thematic sections - each section will correspond to a separate slide or a group of slides. Save images, graphics, audio and video files suitable for the lecture on your computer in advance. There should not be too many of them, otherwise the listeners will be distracted from the main content of the lesson. The same applies to text - large volumes of small text simply will not be perceived. Slides should provide concise explanations, definitions and diagrams. At the beginning and end of your presentation, create slides with a title and conclusion.
Thus, the overall layout of the slide should include a memorable image, diagram or diagram and short text that the audience can write down. A combination of different types of information on one topic will make it easier and more reliable to remember this or that judgment. It is always better to make more slides with short text than one with small, tightly inserted lines.
Improvements to slide design
Once you've created the theme slide groups, change the overall layout. Most likely, initially you chose a ready-made theme or template, but it is better to choose the size and type of font yourself. It should be large, easy to read (so it is better to use standard sans serif fonts) and black.
Match the background of the slides to the font. Of course, for the best experience, use a white background with no embellishments. But if you really want to, you can decorate the slides with a light ornament or choose a soft pastel color for the background. This will not be easy if there is an image on the slide that has its own set of colors. The main thing here is not to spoil the general perception of the slide and the text on it.
Finally, use transitions and effects for your presentation to grab the audience's attention and make your lecture memorable. As always, you should not get too carried away, otherwise the main content of your speech will be the effects on the slides, and not the text of the lecture.
