How Prezi Presentation Design Broke The Mold

By Daphne Bowen


Prezi is a great cloud based presentation application that was created to bring an entirely new outlook on the way we make presentations. The specific prezi presentation design that one decides to employ will have a huge impact on how the audience chooses to respond to you. The term prezi was derived from the Hungarian word meaning presentation.

It was founded by three Hungarian programmers very recently in 2009. Its usage targets all kinds of individuals in different professions such as such as teachers students and business executives. It was discovered that audiences are much more likely to pay attention to your presentation if it was more interactive.

The applications are not limited to those with an acute understanding of computers and applications. Virtually anybody can set up online accounts at prezi.com where one can sign up and proceed to explore all that it has to offer. A lot of web based tutorials exist to guide you in the earlier stages of design implementation. After creating an account however one is required to select their membership, either free or paid.

The more interesting part is getting into the actual design layout. A number of themes are availed at start up. Choosing a theme will be vital in determining the text color and means by which the objects interact. There is also an additional feature of choosing whether your layout will be 2-D or 3-D. The three dimensional layouts elicits more of a wow effect from the audience if properly used. This is largely due to the ability to zoom in and out of the set.

The template will only go as far as providing a framework for you to work on. The details of your presentation and the sequence will entirely depend on your ideas. An easy way to work around this is by starting with your major points. Once this is established, you can then go ahead and add filler content (which are basically details further illustrating your key points).

Key to its evolution is the ability to stand out as a dynamic, non linear tool to expressing ones ideas. This serves to breathe life to an otherwise boring conventional slide approach. The other crucial factor is that it is an open source software available to anybody with access to the internet.

Despite all this, lots of complaints have been raised regarding its three dimensional approach. The complaints are centered on the premise that it causes motion sickness when exposed to it for extended periods of time. This effect is usually compounded when the presenter moves through different illustrations quickly. Another limitation may be on its accessibility. Although being cloud based is beneficial, it can cause access issues if the individual resides in remote locales or places where internet connectivity is not easily available. Older people also have a bias towards the tools they are more familiar with due to the learning curve associated with understanding an entirely new concept.

In summary, this is a vital tool that if properly understood and embraced can change the way information is relayed to people. The learning curve should not be a hindrance in discovering and unlocking its potential
