The Wonderful World Of Prezi Presentation Design

By Daphne Bowen


Prezi is a great cloud based presentation application that was created to bring an entirely new outlook on the way we make presentations. The specific prezi presentation design that one decides to employ will have a huge impact on how the audience chooses to respond to you. The term prezi was derived from the Hungarian word meaning presentation.

It is a pretty resent technology having been founded in 2009 by three Hungarian developers. It is used by all kinds of people and groups. Business executives, teachers and even students are part of the large community that benefits from the dynamism offered by prezi when making their presentations. It has also served to enable the audience to learn more and appreciate the content being displayed in these lectures without having to sit through lengthy boring speeches.

Using it is pretty straight forward. First, you must log in to their website at prezi.com or create an account if you do not currently have one. You can choose a free or paid account based on your preference and after that you are good to go. There are plenty of tutorials on the web on how to get started with your new account therefore new users should not be in any way intimidated.

Getting down to the nifty gritty of design elements, one will notice an array of different template designs available at your disposal. These are only meant to serve as a guiding principle on the overall outlook of your final design. They serve to provide a basis of interaction between your text, colors and objects orientation. The 2-D and 3-D features popular with it are also determined by the choice of template design.

The template will only go as far as providing a framework for you to work on. The details of your presentation and the sequence will entirely depend on your ideas. An easy way to work around this is by starting with your major points. Once this is established, you can then go ahead and add filler content (which are basically details further illustrating your key points).

Some of the key advantages have been mentioned in the discussions above. This includes its ability to break the monotony of using traditional tools, and offering a dynamic platform for presenting your ideas. Another worthwhile mention is that it is completely free and easily available irrespective of your location. This is majorly because it allows you to save your work on a cloud based server.

The older generations are however more conservative and prefer to stick to the animal they are more familiar with. This is not surprising judging by the amount of effort, although slight, that is required to gain an understanding of its means of operation. Prezi being web based can in some ways also hinder access say to individuals who may not necessarily have a reliable internet connection. Audiences have also complained of experiencing dizzy spells when exposed to quick moving 3-D illustrations.

In conclusion, prezi is a very powerful tool that should be encouraged for use by individuals or groups. Those who are willing to go through the process of learning and understanding its use get to reap the rewards it has to offer.
