By Jana Serrano


Prezi, just as many other widely used software, requires some basic training before one gets familiar with it. In order to avoid common failures with presentations, you must start with the basics, and the guidelines. It is common to try things out without putting much attention to the necessary procedures, and if this happens, you should get SHOT. Getting shot in this case is an acronym meaning Stopped, Helped, or Trained. Ideally, Prezi for beginners is about helping the beginners and training them to produce acceptable presentations.

Most people see a big wonderful canvas in which you can go up and down, in and out, left and right and most beginners start doing everything. The result is a presentation that is swinging in and out, left and right, and uses animation effects that are random. The pictures in some cases are even rotated up to 37 degrees. This is simply a disaster. This is why they have to be SHOT. Here are a few tips in the guide.

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 make a plan. Generally, there is a lot of freedom and this can be very tricky at times, however, there is a need of planning before you start your presentation. In case you are overwhelmed, by this unlimited space, image how a movie is planned, it goes step by step and the scenes are created, one after the other. The same thinking can help you in this planning.

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.

It is also advisable to use the SWF files since it gives professionally looking Prezi presentations that have great zooming effects. In contrast, using low resolution pictures can make the whole presentation look horrible should you try to zoom in or out.

In addition to a logic structure, restrict the symbols used to the well-known ones. The element connections should be transparent. In simple terms, it is all about striking a balance between complexity and simplicity. Lastly, images should be preferred over words.

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.
