TOPIC: Steps In Making PowerPoint and Pecha Kucha Presentation

CONTENT:

PowerPoint presentations are useful no matter what the topic and help communicate
ideas to an audience. The invention of PowerPoint has saved presenters hours of
painstakingly handcrafting displays, and created a professional and easy to relay
information. It is very powerful tool to convey information to an audience. On the other
hand, Pecha Kucha Presentation is a creative way to talk about things they love. The
presentation format has specific rules that can both challenge and inspire.

The following are the steps on how to make a PowerPoint:

Step 1. Open the PowerPoint Program

When you open the PowerPoint program, you may be prompted to pick what kind of
document you want to create. Choose to create a blank presentation.

Step 2. Choosing A Design

The next thing you want to do is decide what design you want for the presentation. To do
this, go to the ‘Design Tab’ at the top of the page. Scroll through all the options and decide
which one looks best for the presentation you want. To get a preview of what the design
will look like before applying it to the presentation, this design will be automatically
continued throughout the rest of your presentation.

Step 3. Create Title Page

Click the first box that says ‘Click to add title’ and add the title of your presentation. Click
the bottom box to add your name, or any other subtitle that you choose. Once you have
your text in the boxes, you can change their font, size, color, etc.

Step 4. Add more slides

Chances are, you are going to need more than one slide. There are a few ways you can add
more slides. Notice that there is a separate area to the left of the screen where your first
slide is located. The way to add a slide is to right-click the area under where your first
slide is located and select ‘New Slide’. A new slide will appear. There is also the top will
insert a new slide with a default layout, which will allow you to choose what type of
layout you want.

Step 5. Add Charts, Pictures, Graphs, ETC.

at the top of the window. Here, you will see buttons of all the options of what you can
insert into your slide.

Step 6. Add Transitions

To add transitions in between your slides, click the ‘Animations’ tab at the top of the page.
Here you can scroll through all the options of transitions. Select the side you want the
transition applied to and then click the transition you chose. You can do his for every slide,
selecting the same or different transition.

Step 7. Changing the Order

Once you have all your slides made, you can change the order of the slides. To do this,
click and drag the slides from where they are to where you want them in order.

Step 8. Play the Presentation

Click the ‘Slide Show’ tab at the top of the page and select ‘From Beginning’. You can go
through your enter slideshow and change slides by clicking or pressing the right arrow. A
shortcut to this is pressing F5.

Step 9. DONE

Congratulation. You have now made a PowerPoint presentation.

Tips for making an effective PowerPoint

 Keep it short and to the point

One of the most important things to remember is that PowerPoint is a tool to support your
story. Avoid putting the literal text on the screen. Instead, try and shorten your bullets and
keep it to the point. This causes your audience to focus on you instead of the slide.

 Choose the right font

Try and pick a classic font instead of a creative one. Picking the wrong font can easily
cause your text to be unreadable for your audience. Besides that, if the computer you are
presenting on does not have the font you used installed, PowerPoint will replace it with a
random one. TNR, Verdana, Arial, Calibri, and Helvetica are some examples of the right
font or safe choices.

 Size Matters

Picking the right font size can be difficult. On the one hand your audience needs to be able
to read whatever you put on the screen. On the other hand, you don’t want your text to
dominate the space on your slide.
  Contrast

If you’re using text on a photo, make sure that your font is readable by either placing a
border or casting a shadow around it.

 Minimize the variety of transitions

After creating a PowerPoint presentation, people usually conclude that the presentation
comes off as boring. At this point they start to use transition. Different transitions are then
used to ‘breath life’ into the presentation. However, this is not the way to do it. PowerPoint
offers the most diverse transitions, which are usually experienced as distracting and
childish. A simple ‘Fade’ effect to go from slide to slide is more than enough. Again, the
phrase ‘less is more’ is applicable.

PECHAKUCHA PRESENTATION

What is Pecha Kucha Presentation?

Pecha Kucha which means “the sound of conversation” or “chit-chat” in Japanese, is a

popular social event and a novel way for companies and educators to help employees and
students sharpen public speaking skills and promote connectivity. Pecha Kucha
presentation is a format that uses 20 slides or images that are displayed for 20 seconds
each. The slide will move automatically as the presenter is speaking. This format ensures
that the speaker is concise, keeps the presentation moving, and gets through all of their
content.

How Pecha Kucha Works

Pecha Kucha works in a specific format for both words and images. The format is as
follows:

1. The topic: Presenters at a Pecha Kucha night must deliver a speech on a

predetermined topic. The format may relate to their work or interest, and the
presenter must use twenty slides to support their presentation.

2. The images: Pecha Kucha slides must feature an image that is predominately free
or text, though presenters may use captions. However, any infographic must be
brief to allow the audience to read it before the next slide advances.

3. The rules: Pecha Kucha has specific rules regarding the length of the presentation,
garnering comparisons to the strict regulations of haiku. Speakers must complete
their entire presentation in exactly six minutes and forty seconds. To meet that time
limit, they can only speak for twenty seconds per slide. They also can’t halt the
presentation, return to a previously shown image, or skip ahead to a later image.

How to Create a Pecha Kucha Presentation

Here are some tips on how to create a Pecha Kucha Presentation:

1. Choose a good topic. While you can present on any topic, the best Pecha Kucha
presentations focus on compelling topics to the presenter. Consider doing a
 presentation on one of your passions, talents, or interests. The topic doesn’t have to
be serious; it can be about a magazine collection, rare candy, or a fun place to visit.

2. Start with an outline. If you’re unsure where to start, you can outline the
presentation using a basic essay structure. For example, start with a thesis
statement, move into the body of the presentation, which provides evidence to
support your main theory, and close with a summary of your main points in the
final slides.

3. Be concise. You have less than seven minutes to inform and entertain your
listeners, so you need to have a tightly crafted presentation. You should be able to
explain your topic in a single sentence; if not, simply the subject.

4. Choose and use images wisely. Allow your images to help you tell your story.
Choose images that are compelling and large enough to be visible from the
audience’s perspective. Stock images and Pecha Kucha templates are widely
available from various online sources.

5. Practice. You want to convey your enthusiasm for your subject through your
presentation. Rehearse both the text and the timing between slides as much as
possible so that your delivery sounds natural. Reading from a script may suggest
you are unfamiliar with or uninterested in the topic.
