Why You Need The Prezi For Beginners

By Jana Serrano


Prezi offers a great function and is a tool that is now widely used. This means that there are thousands of people trying to learn it every day, and most others try to use it before even learning the basics. Without following the proper guidelines and the necessary structure, everything can turn out to be a disaster. In fact, such a user should just be SHOT. The word "SHOT" sounds too harsh, but is actually the acronym for Stopped, Helped or Trained, and this is what the Prezi for beginners try to achieve. It tries to help the new users appreciate all the four pillars of presentation and the two pillars of message and structure in particular.

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.

There are several tips to consider, however, the basic ones are there to help the beginners focus on the four pillars of presentation, and these include the message and the structure as the most important ones.

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 other tip is to consider using SWF files so as to create the professional Prezi that has outstanding zooming effects. In the presentation, there is freedom to zoom in and out. However, the use of a low resolution picture can make it look horrible.

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.

As much as possible, the symbols used should be those that are well known and try to use images over words as much as possible. Since some people are not comfortable with quickly moving objects, it is best to avoid the motion sickness.

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.
