Presentation


After thoughts are made into ideas, the next step is the presentation to someone else. Presentation is the visual and sounds expression of the idea.

The presentation can inspire and compliment the service or product, while a bad presentation, even though the idea may be great, will ruin the chance of bringing the idea to fruition.

Back in the day, sketches and photo prints were rubber cemented onto white boards, covered in a flap of construction paper. These were placed on easels, and during the presentation to the client or organization, uncovered like a treasured surprise. The presenter had to express the excitement of the idea and engage the audience with additional notes on slides or written explanations in a darkened boardroom.

Today, presentations using video, sound, and animation, can dazzle the presentation, but does the message get across?

One, know your audience.

Two, make an organized outline

Three, double check your information

A presentation using the Internet can reach around the world and be interactive with telecommunication. With this technology, the presenter must be prepared to answer and give examples to every question.

Even with the most sophisticated software, the presentation must be brief, concise, and effective.
