My second blog post

Hello fellas,
                 Actually i am a bit late today to post this blog, so i will not give much detailed explanation about the further skills. Don't worry guys, will definitely do it whenever I get sufficient amount of time.

                 So, I would like to put a light on some of the mistake that students do when they are delivering their seminar. Considering the fact that, almost everyone uses a Powerpoint presentation slide show for this presentation purpose, here are the few mistakes that i have seen in my career of giving seminars till now.

  1. While developing any seminar through a presentation slide, students, always make a mistake of putting up all the things on the slides and make them unnecessarily messy.
  2. Many a times, the slides shows that are prepared, are too fancy and contain more and more animation i.e. more images and sometimes the custom animations that are many a times not required.
  3. The font size is also a part of consideration as the presentation is not only for the judges, but also for the audiences.
                    Now here are few remedies for the above mistake that should be followed so that it can help our presentation to look for graceful and tidy.
  1. Making the slide Unnecessarily messy : For resolving this problem, one must keep into his mind, that more he keeps his slides compact with not may words or sentence on it, it is the presentation that is admired the most. But keeping it compact doesn't mean that you should skip some of the points that are very very essential.
  2. As all of u know, images speaks more than words, but an animation goes further step ahead, and it can even make one imagine what things could happen. So keeping images as well as animation in our presentation is a good practice, but along with that there should not be any overdose of the same. One should keep the amount of animation put up in the presentation in proper proportion. Also a point to tell, that if one could get videos to show about the same concept, then its even more good.
  3. The third point, is that of the font size. This is the most crucial part of your presentation as your presentation cannot be fully of images and animations and those suitable videos, but also of words. The most preferred font are the basic fonts such as the Times New Roman, Arial and such simple kinds of it. And considering the visibility, the font size of normal text should be at least 24 pt size, and for the further text such as the sub title and the title it should be 36 pt size and 48 pt size respectively.
          I hope these tips really help you in your seminars. Keep in touch for further suggestions and posts.
