Powerpoint....

So, I just finished my latest assignment: take a Powerpoint presentation, and change it to make it better. Let me tell you, the presentation we were to take and edit was probably the worst one I've ever seen....and I've seen some bad ones. Just looking at the presentation in layout was bad, but watching it (as I was advised by a classmate) made it clear just how bad it truly was.

I could go on about everything that was wrong, but I'd rather not relive that. So, we'll just jump right into what I changed. First, I'll touch on what I applied to every single slide, and then specific changes made to specific slides.

For all slides:
1. consistant backgrounds on all
2. consistant font size, font colour, and font for all information presented
3. consistant transitions and animations (nothing fancy here folks!)
4. title on every slide
5. a space inbetween every point (spreads the info over the entire slide, good use of space)
6. changed sentences to have them make sense and flow better

Specific slides:
1. title slide, added picture
2. basic/background info on fire, broke up paragraph into separate points, edited sentences
3. eyewitness account, broke up paragraph into separate sentences, removed unnecessary information, editing
4. effects of fire, focused on economic effects, editing
5. effects of fire, focused on ecological effects (info was originally with economic effects), expanded information, editing

And that's all she wrote.
