How to make a good powerpoint presentation ?


A good powerpoint presentation is to attract our audience to focus on our presentation. Therefore, it is important for us to know better ways to create and improve our presentation slides. To create a good powerpoint presentation, there must be a combination of document design and good writing to perform the best understanding to others. One of the importance will be using photos,charts and graphs recommend by Wendy Rusell(n.d.) who stated that by adding images can enhance interest to audience and also add on meaning. Karen A. Schriver (1997) encouraged people to look more into the combination of text and images as it can influence the audience by using images as decorates.


This is the sub topic of my group presentation " Stage setting". I would like to use this example because we present it without any addition of images and this slides was the last to be present. My point is that, trough out the whole presentation,without adding any images will get the audience to tiredness and do not feel interested with the presentation anymore. Therefore, from the supporting sources of professionals and the research i found, i understand the importance of the interplay of images and words in presentation and this can give me a rough idea how to improve out presentation slides.

Other than that,writing good presentation is also important. Presentation slides should only include main points as it has limitation of information. Soloman Rothman(2005) stated that good writing involves direct and literally. Putnis, Peter and Petelin, Roslyn (1996) stated that writing to communicate is to add on important meanings to include in the text for better understanding.
Thus,this is the slide where i use to describe the importance of images. But now i know that there must be additional writing about it to give the best understanding to others.
