Presentation Rework Series – 04

Introduction to Presentation Rework

I have written and read many posts about making awesome presentations and surprisingly ALL of them (including mine) fail to make a 'real impact', the impact of changing a raw presentation and converting it into a beautiful, thought provoking and impactful display of information

Do you know why?

Because creating an awesome presentation is much more than

1. Picking up a beautiful template and filling it up
2. Dumping colors, fonts and pictures and expecting the presentation to come out great
3. Knowing 100 + features of PowerPoint

So I wanted to do something different..

Rather than just writing piles of text on 'How to stuff..' I thought of taking a random but real Presentation and reworking it to make it awesome

I will give you downloadable files (pre and post rework), videos and commentary about my thought process and more importantly the reason(s) behind why I chose something over the other. Hopefully this will give you insights on what works and more importantly what doesn't

 

Some Essential PowerPoint Tools that you should know

Knowing the tool (PowerPoint) is important, but knowing it all is also meaningless. So I am going to touch base on some essentials that will help you build up speed. If you already are a pro feel free to skip this section

Today’s Presentation is on Bitcoins

So I found a presentation on bitcoins from somewhere but order and design of the presentation was pretty absurd. Please consider this presentation merely for education purposes and I do not vet any data used in this presentation

Here is a short video on how the raw presentation looks like

Reworked Presentation

1. Who is Audience : I believe this presentation is meant for general people who want to know and understand about Bitcoins
2. What is the decision that this presentation will help them make : The presentation should help people understand about Bitcoins. Whether people should accept bitcoin or not that depends on who is making the presentation (someone in favor of Bitcoins or someone just spreading unbiased knowledge)
3. Story Boarding Process : The details were pretty straight but the content was to be re-ordered
4. Mocking the Presentation : Frankly I did not mock the presentation this time because, I was very clear on which visualizations to choose for this type of data. But mocking slides first is a very good habit
5. Doing it on PowerPoint : This is where your PowerPoint skills will be used to create the presentation

Here is a short video on how the reworked presentation looks like
