True, PowerPoint presentation is easy and people love using it for different purposes. What is equally true is that many presentations made with PowerPoint are dull and boring.
And if in addition the narrator lacks the verve to enliven the presentation, the whole thing becomes quite tortuous. As a result the presentation fails in delivering the purpose it is intended for.
It shouldn’t be the case, for PowerPoint some has truly amazing options to work on that are bound to push the presentation above mediocrity. Take for example the insertion, animating, and playing clip arts in PowerPoint 2010. Unfortunately, many presenters I’ve come across do not prefer experimenting with the different PowerPoint tools for various reasons, going instead for the same old types.
In an earlier video article we’ve seen how one can make stylish backgrounds for PowerPoint presentation. Though simple, light backgrounds can go for virtually all types of presentations, the choice can sometimes include colorful ones, if only to lift the mood of both the presenter and the audience.
The video below explores using plain text in different ways, finally ending with a simple animation of 3 text elements in a single slide. It is not necessary that the readers do the same things as shown in the video. The purpose rather is to show a few techniques of text animation in PowerPoint so that one is enthused to try out even more.
Watch the video and do leave your comments in the comment box below.
