Week 7 Clear: Presentations

Above is a web site on effective presentations.
Presentations

It's all about simple, effective presentation!

The concepts that were clear to me for this week:

1. Keep it simple with words and graphics
2. Keep it relevant to the audience -they are the priority
3. Use big text and good graphics (not clip art, and not teeny pics)
4. Have your signal (the message) louder than the noise (the graphics or add-ins)
   
5. Do not drone on, keep your audience engaged.
   
6. Keep design principles in mind (e.g. white space)

For business effective presentations help:

1. To sell a product
2. Gain a partner
3. Pitch an idea, sales plan or campaign to the big bosses
4. Expand the company effectively and efficiently
5. It may engage the company in growth for a fiscal presentation

Presentations are used in business constantly. It is a form of communication of ideas and information. The key is to be effective and engaging. A person needs to be effective ( sell the product) and efficient( a great presentation). One is the means and one is the end. Both are needed! Presentations are a tool to seal the deal or to communicate with the company. Do not be a drone!
