If you've sat through a number of PowerPoint presentations, you probably will remember that while a lot of points were made, it may not have been that powerful. The typical multiple (with a capital M) bullet-style slides, coupled with the soothing whoosh of cool air in a semi-dark corporate boardroom, have made you think of PowerSleep, instead of PPT. Here are some changes in the way presentations are made.
Marco Montemagno presents Myths about the internet and Web 2.0 opportunities at the 2007 IAB Forum. He speaks in Italian, but the video contains sub-titles so you can follow along.
His presentation consists mostly of images and a few video clips. You'll also find the occasional text-only slide here and there, but these are mostly single-word or single-phrase light text on a dark background.
The screen is placed well-above him, and the rest of the screen area is a soothing shade of light blue. Marco wears a dark suit, perhaps to better standout against the light blue background. It also does well for video shots of the audience silhouetted against that blue screen, and Marco animatedly walking from one end of the stage to the next.
In PresentationZen's If your idea is worth spreading, then presentation matters, you'll find six video examples of masterful presentations.
Some have speakers reading from their script, others show presentors using humor, strong language, or snazzy graphics that make you wonder if they have a copy of PowerFulPoint, instead of PowerPoint.
I'm intrigued by Hans Rosling, a public health expert from Sweden. He presents tons of data in a graphical way that you've probably not seen before. And he animates those graphs to give you a sense of history, and to easily see how the data changes over time.
So if you're preparing for a future presentation, whether it's in your school or company, or in some event in another part of the globe, check out these different presentation styles and see which ones can perk up your audience.
For with powerful presentations comes the attraction of attention. And if you are able to attract attention (and hold it!) with the help of your web site, then your blog will experience an increase in visitor traffic.
