in a powerpoint i really like it when theres a lot of pictures and things that draw my attention better to the subject and not the text. Its nice when the people can sort of simplify the subject into the least amount of slides possible.
I hate wordiness and reading essays ona powerpoint it bores me and theres nothing to look at that interests me.
I learned not to write too much and to make things visually appealing as well as not being lazy or self centered
In "Project 2," I really liked how everything was presented. It strongly emphasized the main points while being humorous and enjoyable. However, I didn't like how the presentation was hypocritical. It stressed "less is more," yet it was 128 slides long.
I learned that pictures make more of an impact on the viewer than words do. Also, I learned that by being concise and precise in what you present, the message will get across to the viewer successfully.
I really liked the fact that there were alot of picture and not so many words. i find that the eye is drawn more to pictures than text so it really helps to keep the viewer focused. I didn't like how long the powerpoint actually was and it was boring at times. I learned that in order to make an effective powerpoint you have to be short and to the point point to keep the viewer's attention and use visually appealing strategies when consturcting your powerpoint.
I thought this powerpoint was really interesting to read. I didnt get bored flipping through the slides which was good. The only thing that I didn't really like was that it was kind of long; there were a lot of slides. I learned that you shouldnt make your presentations too wordy because people can get bored and not understand it. Also you should include interesting pictures to draw peoples attentions. Good graphics and a nice display helps the presentation alot.
I feel a little tacky saying it, but I was very into the pictures. It makes you seem like a philistine, but visuals are a much greater part of a good power point presentation than you would think. It's always a delicate balance between putting in enough visually to maintain a viewers interest, and cramming a presentation full of lame, extraeneous images. I think this presentation made a nice, clear cut representation of that.
It's important not to put too much information on one slide, but its also important to avoid having a painfully long presentation. Pithyness is nice.
In terms of my own power point tendencies, I learned to limit the amount of information i am putting on my slides, and to form a more organized presentation (in terms of focus on a single topic), even if it requires added slides (no more sharing).
I like when there are a lot of pictures in a powerpoint. I think there need to be enough so you can visually understand what you are learning about but I think there also needs to be enough words so that the picture can be explained. Projects with a lot of words though get lengthy and boring to read, which is why i think there should be more visuals and only a few words per slide.
I found this slide very funny. especially the slide with microsoft employees. I think that this powerpoint speaks volumes. Simple is key. the more the merrier- its true not only in powerpoints, but especially in powerpoints. I thought the jokes were cute- not over doing it, not underdoing it. Just when it was getting a little boring- boom. joke. however, i did think a little more art and creativity with fonts and colors could have been added for more visual excitement. few colors is wise, but the maker had black and orange- great colors, but they could have splurged a little bit i thought. Bottom line- i liked the power point quite a bit.
I like the pictures and the accesability to information.
I don't like reading a lot and having a confusing jumble of words.
I think that this was interesting and helped me learn to create an interesting and different then usual powerpoint.
