The Significance of Graphics Presentation

During reports, classes, seminars and other similar setups, there is nothing more helpful for both the speaker and the audience than a graphics presentation. A graphics presentation allows the speaker support his words in front with a visual aid. It gives the speaker trouble-free access to the report, information or his ideas. On the other hand, a graphics presentation allows the audience or participants to retain more information than listening to the speaker alone. In both ways, a graphics presentation permits the harmonious coexistence of what could be seen or read and what could be heard.

To that extent, there have been developed a score of graphics presentation programs. These programs are computer applications that could be used to display information usually in the form of slides. These computer application packages, the most popular of which is the Microsoft PowerPoint, allows users to input and format text, insert and animate graphics, and create a slideshow. The end result would be a presentation suited to the occasion, whether for the academe, offices and even for other purposes.

As previously stated, the PowerPoint is not the only graphics presentation program existing today. It is also not the first presentation program. However, it was Microsoft’s program that has made the greatest impact among all graphics presentation applications. It is still the most widely used presentation program in the world, with hundreds of millions of students, teachers and workers using it for their presentation needs. The popularity of the program among the computer-literate populace was so great that the main problem with slide-based visual aids was associated with it, “death by PowerPoint.”

Other presentation programs, old and new alike, include Apple Keynote, Corel Presentations, Google Docs, Kingsoft Presentation, Libre Office Impress, OpenOffice.org Impress and SlideRocket.

Here are a few tips for a quality graphics presentation using any of the programs previously mentioned.

• Use font size and style that could be easily read even if the some of the audience are on the far side of the hall;

• Instead of placing all the contents of report or document, input only the main points by using bullets;

• Use uniform background all throughout the slideshow. Use a template as much as possible;

• During the presentation, do not read the slides. The slides are there to support the speaker, not the other way around; and

• Distribute handouts or pamphlets only after the presentation.
