PowerPoint Presentations

My favorite presentation so far has been Will Prudich's "Bonobo" Presentation. It discussed the behavior of Bonobo monkeys. The content was good and relevant to the topic throughout. Not only was it entertaining, but it also followed many of the guidelines for what makes a good powerpoint presentation. It applied the same background for each slide and had clear, readable text that was easy to look at as a viewer. There were not any crazy or distracting animations within the main part of the presentation and the pictures and sounds used were appropriate for the message that he was presenting. Although the presentation seemed like a joke, it was actually well-done in terms of organization and design.

Another good presentation was conducted by Caroline Arroyo. It had very good information on how to handle the task of the audition in theatre. It had great information on the subject and, in my opinion, it was superior in design compared to all of the presentations. The background designs were very clear pictures and all had the same theme. All of the transitions flowed smoothly from one to the next. Everything down to the text style was relative and applied to her theme nicely.
