The Importance Of The Prezi For Beginners

By Jana Serrano


Prezi, just as many other widely used software, requires some basic training before one gets familiar with it. In order to avoid common failures with presentations, you must start with the basics, and the guidelines. It is common to try things out without putting much attention to the necessary procedures, and if this happens, you should get SHOT. Getting shot in this case is an acronym meaning Stopped, Helped, or Trained. Ideally, Prezi for beginners is about helping the beginners and training them to produce acceptable presentations.

As a new user, you are constantly bombarded with the huge freedom in your hands. You have freedom to go up and down, go left and right, and even in and out. It is easy to get confused and try everything at once resulting in a disastrous product. You get a presentation that is swinging left and right, in and out and the animations that are random. There are several tips for the beginners, and some of them are discussed below.

To start, the user should have a completely different mindset and approach. One must forget the Power Point and its slides. Here, everything is different, there is a room for creativity and innovation, and in order to realize its full potential, you have to approach it with a different philosophy. Unlike in the case of PowerPoint where you are limited with rectangles, you have the room to be imaginative and no need to be conserved.

The second step is to get a plan. If possible, start by planning in PowerPoint before proceeding to Prezi. With this freedom, it can be tricky, and it is very easy to be overwhelmed. However, if you take the procedure used in planning the movie, it can be possible. Planning for a movie involves taking one step at a time, creating one scene after the other, and there is a lot to do with trial and error.

The professionals advise that it is best to use the SWF files as this produces professional looking and more presentable Prezi that have great zooming effects. It also gives you give a bigger freedom in zooming in and out. Using the low resolution pictures results to horrible images on zooming and should therefore be avoided.

The other necessary thing is to understand the things that constitute a good Prezi. However much it may be explained, your presentation is only good if it explains the targeted topic in a manner that it is unforgettable to the audience. This requires that you focus on simplicity and clarity.

If you are aware of the fact that a presentation is only successful if it is able to explain the topic is a manner that is simple, unique and unforgettable, and then you can visualize what really make a good Prezi. In order to achieve this, you have to use a logic structure in your presentation. The symbols used too should be relevant and well known by the audience. Lastly, try to use symbols as much as possible and reduce the use of words. It is often difficult to strike the balance between simplicity and uniqueness, but this is what is required.

The members of the audience who are sensitive should be considered and fast moving or fast rotating objects should be avoided. This means that as the beginner, you learn how to make proper transitions between different slides in a manner that is gentle and calm.
