A boring presentation will distract the audience and weaken your credibility as a speaker. Although speaking ability is more dependent on the success of a presentation, you should not underestimate the importance of presentation slides. Therefore, we need a way to make interesting slides. As for how to make an interesting PPT, namely: 1. Using a simple design Slides that have too many designs, flashy colors and lots of text are very distracting for readers. A good presentation is one that uses a maximum of 3 colors and a white or neutral background. Also, use simple font colors and don't have too many designs that don't match. 2. Don't Too Much Text When making a presentation, of course you want to put everything that will be said during the presentation so that the audience can easily understand the explanation. However, it is not the most attractive way to deliver a presentation. When you provide too much information then the audience will tend to focus on the monitor rather than what you are saying. To overcome this, it is enough to use a few keywords and explanations in your presentation. That way the audience will pay more attention to what you have to say. 3. Using images as the main focus Using attractive and good pictures can make a presentation interesting. Look for pictures that reflect the theme being discussed and what you are going to convey. For example, if you want to do something to be more productive, then you must use images that inspire and bring joy to the audience to be motivated. 4. Use attractive graphics Graphics are an effective way to display a lot of information. Graphics can help the audience to be able to convey the trends that occur, for example the decline and increase in corona cases and so on. These 4 tips are tips for making effective and attention-grabbing presentation slides. In addition to using an attractive power point, the way you convey your message to the audience must also be considered. Don't have much time?
