My First Prezi
This week I had the opportunity to
use Prezi for the first time. Though I was nervous to try a new presentation
app, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Prezi is even easier to use than
PowerPoint. I didn't have access to Prezi's premium features, but I enjoyed
using the basic features because it encouraged me to keep my presentation
simple. After looking through the Prezi staff picks for inspiration, I decided
that a presentation on outer space would be the best way to show off Prezi's
zoom animation, which is my favorite feature in the application. I also noticed
that Prezi can be very effective for connecting ideas in a visual way, so I
built on this by making my entire presentation resemble a solar system. I made
the central idea (the Sun of the solar system) about the universe, and the
objects in it were represented by planets in orbit.
Applying Garr Reynolds Design Tips
I made sure to keep my Prezi simple by keeping my text to a
minimum and only including the most important and compelling information. I
also gave my presentation its own unique visual theme, though I did select a
Prezi background because it went well with my topic. For a font, I used
NotoSans because it is both professional looking and easy to read. Recognizing
the importance of logical progression, I designed my presentation to move from
the largest objects in the universe to the smallest ones.
