How Prezi Presentation Design Broke The Mold

By Daphne Bowen


Prezi is a powerful web based presentation tool. The particular prezi presentation design you choose to implement will determine the response you get from the audience. In general, it was designed to break the monotony of traditional presentation tools such as Microsoft PowerPoint.

It is a pretty resent technology having been founded in 2009 by three Hungarian developers. It is used by all kinds of people and groups. Business executives, teachers and even students are part of the large community that benefits from the dynamism offered by prezi when making their presentations. It has also served to enable the audience to learn more and appreciate the content being displayed in these lectures without having to sit through lengthy boring speeches.

Its application is quite easy to understand. The first step is logging in to their online accounts. The new users will have to sign up for new accounts. They will further be required to select an account option either free or a paid account. Getting started is easily illustrated by simple step by step instructional videos available on you tube. This way the new users can get to be quickly familiarized with the basics.

Getting down to the nifty gritty of design elements, one will notice an array of different template designs available at your disposal. These are only meant to serve as a guiding principle on the overall outlook of your final design. They serve to provide a basis of interaction between your text, colors and objects orientation. The 2-D and 3-D features popular with it are also determined by the choice of template design.

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).

The dynamism offered by prezi is important in giving it the edge over other tools. This coupled with the fact that it offers an escape from boring old ways is a huge advantage on its part. It also does not hurt that it is totally free and available on a cloud basis. This implies that you can edit your work and access it anywhere at any time.

Although being entirely available online is a merit on its part, it could work to the disadvantage of the user in situations where their location has very limited or no access to the internet. Some complaints have also been raised concerning the dizziness effects the 3-D presentations can have on an audience especially when the presenter is quickly scanning through the illustrations. Older people are more inclined to revert to tools they are more used to working with due to the learning curve associated with attempting to understand it.

In conclusion, prezi is a very powerful tool that should be encouraged for use by individuals or groups. Those who are willing to go through the process of learning and understanding its use get to reap the rewards it has to offer.
