5th Reflections

This time our task is about “Choose one set of PowerPoint from ‘internet’, then ‘fix it!” but “if you think the PowerPoint do not needed to be fixed, explain why with 4 reasons”

So.. I’ve been looked up for sets of bad PowerPoint from the internet, it’s quite a lots actually but I found that this one is the worst ever I guess haha

-          Okay , as you can see from the title above, they put “My presentation” as the title. It’s obviously wrong ! it should be the actual title of the topic, for example “Woodland Park Zoo Seatle WA” . 

   

      To be honest, I can’t even understand what are the main topic the presenter was trying to tell. Therefore this kind of slides has to be avoided. The use of the background color is not interesting and actually more like boring for students.

-          The second slides it should be simple. Too much words in there, the slides must have plenty of "white space" or "negative space". Use keywords only, no sentences. Therefore, the presenter should never read the whole sentences from the slides when presenting. It all should be spontaneously.

      The slides are only for supports, not to replace the  talk because if you read your slides and if you do it slow and badly, the audience will get bored and stop listening.

     

-          I guess the third slides the presenter is about to visualize the Zoo. Therefore, besides of putting lots of inappropriate cartoon images to describe the zoo, it should be replaced with the Zoos environment images. And also, it should be arrange properly so that it won’t be too crowded.

-        The fourth slides, the presenter was trying to list down some of the good ideas for upgrading the Zoo. The main point should be very clear such as “Ideas for Upgrading the Zoo”. The use of consistency is also important, the fonts should be in the same sizes on all slides, and can be read easily.       

      

      From the word “Ideas” it should be more than one ideas, but from the slide as we can see they only put one only.

-   

-          Next, the use of images as the background is not suitable. The images distracting the messages, plus the fonts of the messages is too small and in white color. It should be contrast, If you want to play with colors, keep it easy on the eyes and always keep good contrast in mind so that your readers do not have to strain to guess what you’ve typed on your slide

-          The information of the charts above is not clear. It should be labeled clearly. Plus, you can also put some animation to make it more interesting.

-          Lastly, to conclude a presentation it has to be some of the conclusion. Not just by putting some random pictures and say thank you. 

    Okay that's it ! see ya on the next reflections 👋
