5 Best Practices For Making Awesome PowerPoint Slides

By Anonymous
Most PowerPoint presentations are the worst.
Far too often, the slides are text-heavy and the person simply reads them off. And while there is important information being discussed and employees have the best of intentions of listening, their minds invariably begin to wonder and boredom prevails.
Don’t let that happen. Make your presentations memorable by having awesome slides that enhance your presentation, not take away from it.
1. Keep your slides consistent.
Whatever style you pick, you want to keep it consistent throughout the piece. Having one style for one slide and then a different style for a different slide can be jarring to the audience.
Instead, one consistent tone makes the presentation flow much better. If you are doing an internal presentation, it’s best to use a branded template for your decks (and if you don’t have a branded template for your organization, make one).
A good example:

2. Make it visual.

Nothing makes peoples’ eyes glaze over faster than a text-heavy slide, or slide after slide of just text. Use images, charts, graphs, videos or anything else visual to break up the monotony of words. It’ll also add emotion to your presentation.
A good example:

3. Make your title slide stand out.

This is particularly important if you are using your slide deck as a marketing asset for email, social media or any other channel. But, even if it is internal, you want to have a title slide that stands out.
What does that mean? It means having a visually engaging title page and an enticing title that draws people in.
A good example:

4. Show, don’t tell.

Wherever you can, don’t simply speak to problems. For example, if you were doing slides on a new product or new webpage, don’t simply describe it.
Instead, a far more effective deck would highlight the product or webpage and show off its important features. Along with being more visually stunning, it’ll increase your audience's understanding of exactly what you are trying to accomplish.
A good example:

5. Have your slides tell a continuous story.

The absolutely most engaging slide presentations tell a continuous story, where the audience becomes curious about what’s coming next. While highly effective for stand-alone presentations used in marketing, it’s also a great technique to use for internal presentations with a speaker.
A good example:

Best of Luck !

Children a medium of revenge

By
The incident that took place on Tuesday,the sixteenth of December,this year in a military school in Peshawar left not only the family members and friends of the victims in grief,but the air of sadness permeated in the heart of every Pakistani. This incident has been the most disappointing incident ever in the history of Pakistan. Hundreds of young children who would have grown up to be successful adults;who would have lighted Pakistan's name with pride were silenced forever. It was a recalcitrant act which left thousands of parents,siblings and other family members of the victims trembling for the love of their beloved relations. There are stereotypical images abroad about people of Pakistan being violent,although it's not the people of Pakistan but extremists,the Taliban,who are violent.They in my view are not humans but programmed robots,because an individual with a heart and a brain would think thousand times before committing such a brutal act. Although the Taliban are li

I Am Pakistan

I Am Pakistan There are many stereotypical images these days amongst Pakistani nationals and foreigners about the people of Pakistan being corrupt, criminals, uneducated and extremists. In other words they say that  Pakistan is a bad country. However, I do not only feel indeed I can claim that this is not Pakistan. Pakistan comprises of versatile, talented and peaceful people who aspire to do great things for the nation. Pakistanis are not corrupt, hypocrites or criminals; in fact they are the people who devote their lives for the well being of the country. Thousands of times the question “what is actually Pakistan” arose in my mind. The answer to this is that I am Pakistan, our countries youth that works hard to succeed, our teachers who serve the nation by spreading their knowledge, our parents who rear great children that light Pakistan’s name with pride and our loyal soldiers are Pakistan. Pakistan is the largest and best producer of hand sewed footballs
