week 7 - Clear

This was another clear week for me, I have done many presentations in my life and I love using software like Microsoft power point. I just recently bought the new version 2010 and have been getting used to using it. I look forward to doing this next project because I do like making presentations much more then I like making excel spread sheets.

My major is telecommunications so learning about making presentations is very important especially if I plan on using it in Advertising or Marketing. I liked to learn the 5 key steps in making a presentation which were making the audience king, I think is very important because in the long run they are going to be the ones examining your work. Spreading ideas and moving people is another big thing in your presentation you want your audience to leave the presentation with some new knowledge. Make sure you see what you are saying when you are showing slides or information on a computer screen make sure this is what you are talking about as well. Design not decorate make sure you make your work appealing to the eye but don't over do it. Lastly make sure you have a healthy relationship with your audience keep eye contact and be interactive.

I found another good video about giving presentations rather comedic as well
