"The Group will hold a mid-year summary meeting in the near future. Please help me make a speech PPT. I have written the main contents in the word manuscript. You can see how to show it better through PPT. Check the mailbox. I hope it can be delivered to me tomorrow. Please feel free to communicate with me if you have any questions. "
So Jenny hurried back to check the email, and the PPT requested by the manager was like this:
Jenny thought, it's all ugly words. By the way, I learned a lot about the design rules of PPT online before, such as the four principles of "alignment, repetition, intimacy and contrast", the style design of "European and American style PPT" and "flat PPT", and all the color matching principles. Let this PPT look better, it's as simple as going from village girl to Hong Kong sister.
Well, the European and American styles are good =)
Or does the boss prefer this:
Or, isn't flat design very popular now?
Well, it looks much better now. Jenny has made three alternatives. I'm sure the manager can pick out a satisfactory one. However, the manager called Jenny into the office again:
"Are the three PPT copies you sent me your final draft?"
Jenny nodded in confusion.
"Don't you think you didn't do anything? Would you please use your head more? Give you another day and think about how to change it! "
Jenny felt very confused when she came out of the manager's office. Why don't PPT bosses approve according to the design ideas of online PPT gods? Other colleagues next to me gave thumbs up and said that PPT was particularly high.
However, there is only one day to complete the modification. What should we do now?
So, Jenny searched for various methods on the Internet, and later she saw the scattered leaves on Zhihu. After learning that Sanye paid attention to the logic and thinking behind PPT, she asked Sanye for advice.
Write down the process of tutoring Jenny today, hoping to help everyone.
Before doing any PPT, you must first understand the content and ask yourself several times with critical thinking: What is it? Why? Do you really need it? If there is a deviation in the understanding of the content, then it is futile to be beautiful later. Let's take a closer look at the PPT text on this page:
Among them, the first sentence "focusing on Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan markets, mainland markets and international markets" is problematic when you think about it carefully. Hongkong, Macau, Taiwan Province, the mainland and the international community seem to be global together. Since it is global, what is the point?
Therefore, I suggest Jenny communicate with the manager to confirm the gathering position of the company in the market. If there is no point, don't write it, just delete it.
Sanye has always advocated a principle when designing PPT for business speeches: pictures and graphics can be used instead of words, keywords can be used instead of short sentences, short sentences can be used instead of long sentences, and paragraphs are best not to appear.
However, to achieve such a simple design, the premise is that we must learn to deconstruct complex slides with structured thinking! Everything is made up of structure. Any slide is made up of words, pictures, data, charts and graphs, while large paragraphs of text are made up of various logical relationships (juxtaposition, progression, causality, importance, etc.). ), can be deconstructed to the smallest logical relationship unit, so that the audience can directly obtain the essential content at a glance.
Let's take a look at how Jenny's PPT is deconstructed step by step:
A principle to be followed in deconstruction is to decompose complex content into the smallest units. "Achieving 30% profit growth" and "becoming the most influential and competitive international company in the construction and real estate industries" are both goals, but one is a short-term goal and the other is a long-term goal, which can be distinguished by design when designing PPT.
Third Master's view on visual thinking is not simply matching a picture or designing cool animation. For example, Jenny designed three PPT at first, which cannot be called visual thinking. Visual thinking, starting from the communication situation, uses the graphic container to load the ideological content appropriately, so that the audience can see the content of your speech at a glance.
Later, under my guidance, Jenny made this PPT. Because there is a lot of content, I suggest Jenny design it into animation step by step:
Later, Jenny's brain opened wide and said that the manager didn't like anime. Why didn't I make more pages separately, and then she made these two:
When Jenny showed this PPT to the manager, the manager gave Jenny a thumbs-up and praised her for grasping the key points and expressing clearly.
So, you see, most of the reasons why you can't do PPT are not because you can't design and use PowerPoint software, but because you lack the thinking mode behind PPT-structured thinking+critical thinking+visual thinking. It is rare that more and more book gods in the market tell you how to make a beautiful PPT. It requires you to have a good sense of design, a keen sense of color that ordinary people can't match, and even have some research on PS, preferably an animation master, so as to make eye-catching (or black) works.
There is a very popular course in the market-"Learn PPT quickly in 7 days". This fast-food course is sought after by many white people in the workplace, and San Ye is very worried, because San Ye knows that this course only teaches the basic skills of PPT surface kung fu-graphic design, and does not involve the core of PPT-thinking mode at all. So, don't let us go the wrong way in learning PPT. In order to help more people in the workplace learn PPT and thinking mode more effectively, Sanye is working overtime to develop courses.
Therefore, in the near future, the writing frequency of Sanye will decrease. Please forgive me. However, I believe that when my course comes out, I will not let you down!
Thank you for your time, and today's sharing is here =)
