    INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTER SKILLS 2:

    CHAPTER 8/ PRESENTATION GRAPHICS

    In this chapter, will learn:

    a) Describe use of presentations, including discussion on appropriate data


    display techniques
    The following will be done in exercise:
    b) Create and manipulate simple slide shows with outlines and notes
    c) Create slide presentations that include text, graphics, animation, and transitions
    d) Use design layouts and templates for presentations

    Presentation packages and graphics are computer programs that enable users to
    create highly stylized images for slide presentations and reports. They can also be used
    to produce various types of charts and graphs.
    It has three major functions: an editor that allows text to be inserted and formatted, a
    method for inserting and manipulating graphic images, and a slide-show system to display
    the content
    Features of Presentation Graphics Software:

    • Links – Links can be easily added to other slides within the presentation (thus
    allowing easy navigation through the presentation slides), to other files, or to web
    pages (thus allowing access to other files and the web within the presentation).
    • Slide Show Animation – Animation Schemes give users one-click access to
    professionally designed animations. It is possible to control how and when text,
    graphics, and other objects appear on the presentation slides. Animation can aid
    in focusing attention during a presentation and make the slide show more
    interesting. Users can easily get a preview of each animation scheme and can try
    through various options until they find the animation they want.
    • Slide Design – This feature gives users an easier way to discover their design
    options. The user can choose among a selection of design templates. Design
    templates contain color schemes, slide and title masters with custom formatting,
    and styled fonts, all designed to create a particular look.
    • Multimedia – Sounds/videos can be inserted as an integral part of a slide show
    as an object. This is the most convenient method, but can make the file size very
    large - a minute of recorded sound can require up to 10MB of disk capacity. A
    solution could be to save the whole file onto a CD or other large memory storage
    media.
    • Recording a voice narration or sound in a slide show – Narration can be added
    to a one or more slides. Users might want to add narration in the following cases:
    ▪
    A Web-based presentation.
    ▪
    For archiving a meeting so that presenters can review it later and
    hear comments made during the presentation.
    ▪
    For individuals who can't attend a presentation.
    For self-running slide shows.

    • Creating charts, tables and organizational charts – Charts and tables are
    usually created with spreadsheets. They can then be easily inserted into the
    Presentation graphics software using the Copy and Paste commands. However,
    simple charts and tables can be directly created in the presentation graphics
    software – the advantage is that they will take on the colours and format of the
    current slide design.
