1. Introduction: Hi, my name is Andy and I. Teacher, not a designer. Teaching is what I do. And I struggled a lot with the need to create
well-designed presentation. And they know how to do well. But what percent do
not evolve the seals, I spent so much time on content and blending of
teaching itself and designing of my classes
and lectures that I can do vote twice as much sign in. I can't learn a new
professional together. Sound design to proceed with. Some students, learn what's
working and what doesn't. And most importantly,
what's working for personally like
needs, effective, well-designed as
inpatients, and needed weekly as a teacher
out to be having. I taught in schools online and use gaze
lectures and workshops. I couldn't do it is go ahead
and fill up this deal. Designing good presentation. So remember to do it in, do it well and not
spend all my time. And not think like a designer
because I just can't. This is what you'll hear in this class for
this, you know, was he wanted to teach, but still don't know how to
be in your presentation. But don't want to learn sine. C click at this dinner or
if you have a good lecture, our class presentations
still lead sound learning. They learn how to
craft a presentation. That's right. Amount of texts and images that serves your
goals for your class. Lecture, notes and professional. Well-designed your
class project and be your own presentation that will be for your own muscle lecture. Already have one
you want to have the one who start building
your presentation. That's great. That's
the right way. You still don't have. Quantum. Can use this as a practice
then she something. So I look forward to
seeing you in the next.
2. 1st Step: Start Writing: Okay, Let's start. If you have a presentation you already want to make, use it now as your class project, and you will have it
all ready by the end of this. You can also use
something for practice of course, if you
don't have one yet. We also have a discussion
tab for this course,
00:00:18.525 --> 00:00:21.045
So put up all your
questions there. I will answer as best as I can, and everyone will benefit. So do it there and create
our course knowledge. In this video, we will
learn how to start. While you stare at this blank PowerPoint presentation
with one empty slide, starting is the hardest
thing sometimes. So first, just free yourself of all thoughts
relating to design, color, fonts or pictures. What you need to
do is to just start. For this class, as an example, I will use Galileo Galilei. Why? Because I'm a
history teacher, and everyone knows him, and
there's a lot to say. So it's a good example to use. Just begin with writing
the outline of your class, without thinking
about anything else. Just what you want to say on the slides. When I don't know the material and
need to research, I have some research
paper that I use. Sometimes the subject
is something that I know very well and
can start without it. You can make a lesson plan or a class outline in a
different document, or just use your PowerPoint
presentation straightaway and write it in there,
without judgment. Whatever feels more
comfortable to you. This is how the
PowerPoint looks like. It's Office 365 and
this is what I'm working with, and
this is how I'll demonstrate. If you
use other versions so maybe it will look a
little bit different. But this is the general idea. I really think it's the best version for
what we're doing here, but of course you
can use others. So I just opened it,
didn't touch anything. And you can see
how it looks like. So here is my slide. On the left, you can
see the list of slides. And on the right you
see the design ideas. We will go to it later, but I don't want to use
it now because I want, before I design
graphically and visually, I want to know exactly what
I want to say in each slide. I want to know what my message is. I want to know the
needs for each slide. So I don't want to design it in advance, only after I
know my preferences. So we'll get out of this. And let's start with the
building of the slides. So as I said, this is with no judgment. It's to get started.
because writing the first letter is
usually the hardest thing. So we're just going to start. We will not a judge ourselves while working, we'll just
write whatever comes to mind. And we can change everything later. This is sort of a
brainstorming stage. So we said my topic
is Galileo Galilei. It's something that I know a lot about, I
have all the materials. So we'll demonstrate on that.
You can of course choose anything you want
from any topic. So we'll do that, and
then I'll just have the headline. So I know
what my subject is. Then I go to the
slides and Enter, and then I have a new
slide. You have here the headline, you have here
click to add text. Sometimes I use it,
sometimes I don't. I use it here for headlines
because I want to say what do I want to say about him. So you might have
a pre-made list, you might do it just from
the top of your head. It's all up to you And what's convenient for you as a person or for this particular. And he died in 1642. So he lived a long
life. And born... What was he. An astronomer (laughs),
this is going to be hard. Florence, Italy. Physicist. Philosopher. Who was he? Okay, So
this is just so that that I have the
main points about him. So I want to say that
during these days scientists didn't have just one discipline. I want to mention
that in my presentation. And I also want to say that his father was a musician
and played the lauta. And I want to say that he
was born in Pisa. Okay. Okay, So this is it for that. And Enter. Starting another slide. So now I'm thinking, I
talked about the childhood, let's talk about his astronomical
discoveries. And then I can say that he
improved the telescope. He didn't invent it, but he improve it. Was the first one to see
the face of the moon And see that it's not smooth. And I want to say
that he was part, was an essential figure In the Scientific Revolution.
00:07:35.660 --> 00:07:40.295
Okay, so I'll do
that, and now Enter. And what I want to
say now is that his discoveries about
the sun and the earth. So we want to say that, I want
to say that he confirmed Copernicus's theory, the Heliocentric Theory. that the earth
revolves around the sun. And I'll leave it at that
so we can move on with the demonstration. And then he had a
trial, his trial. And then we're going to say
that he stood trial with the Italian Inquisition. And then we'll say that he got a house arrest, a punishment. Of course There's a lot more to say, but this will be quick.
And you can see how I built it from one point to another. So it's not just a
pile of information. You have the headline. Just make sure you
leave a cover slide. And then we have a story. His childhood, where he was born, where he died, who was he,
what was his profession, then what
he found out in general. And then we're going more specifically into
what his best-known for, and that's his
discoveries about the sun the earth.
And then the end, it's basically the biggest story
that we know about him. So this is what I have so far. It's not pretty, it's
not well-designed. It's full of information. And this is what I'll
start working with. Okay, so you saw I do it.
Now it's your turn. Start doing it now, fill in your presentation
with your content. Don't be judgmental,
everything can be changed. We will craft all of
this later. Just start.
3. 2nd Step: Craft Your Content: Great, you finished
the first step. Your presentation may
not look so great, but this is probably the hardest and
most important step. To get started and have
it all written down. So well done. Now let's look at our slides, and make them
presentation ready. What each slide needs
is information. What slides absolutely don't need is the entire explanation.
Think about the student. Your students needs
to listen to you, understand what you're saying, and at the same time look at the presentation
and understand it. So the presentation needs
to support you in your class or lecture, and help the students
understand you better. The presentation serves you. Here's what you
should think about: What are the headlines
of each slide? What's the main most important
thing in the slide? And how can I use the slide to support what
I'll be teaching? Now, let's go over the
slides, and what's necessary and helpful
and what's not. I have a disclaimer:
Often, if not always, teachers use their
presentation as a crutch, to remember things
they might forget. This is a very well-known trick. This is totally fine, everyone does it and
it's very useful. We just need to do it only when absolutely necessary, and keep the role of the
presentation as our support at all times. So put there names and other things you think
you might forget, but don't overdo do it. Okay, now let's do it, And I'll demonstrate. Okay, so now what we're going
to do is go over what we did so far, and make it
more presentation ready. So here's the cover, I'm
not touching that. No, I am touching that. I'll write my name. And I can write other details or the name of the lecture. And now I'm going
over what I did. So I do have a
story here already. If you don't have that, just move things
from place to place. And you can change here, touching, how the
slides are organized. And now I'm going over this
and I'm saying: Who was he? And I see that... I saw where he lived. Maybe I don't need this
on the slide itself. I can just
say it out loud. So I'll cut it. And what I would do to not lose the information, is I'll go to the notes and
I'll paste it here. And then I'm not losing the
information that I needed. And it's very easy. I
don't have to go to another document
and paste there. Of course, you can do
it however you want. And also the explanation about during these days scientists didn't have just one discipline, it's a good sentence, but it's too much to digest while I'm
talking and explaining. It's too long. I'll do it again. I'll copy it to the notes and then I'll
just make it shorter. So I'm not deleting
the entire sentence. And I'll just call it:
Not just one discipline. So it's easier for the students, the listeners, to
understand, because it's a very short sentence. And
then out loud I can explain. what that means. And his father was
a musician and played the lauta,
okay, fine, I don't think it's
that important. It would be nice to say but it's not that important
in such a short presentation. So we'll move to the notes and then
I'll say it out loud. But this one if I forget if I forget it, it's not that important. Okay. So moving on, he
improved the telescope, was the first one to see
the face of the moon and that it's not
smooth and was an essential figure in the
Scientific Revolution. So: Explanation
about the Scientific Revolution. I'm writing it in the notes. I will, if it was something
that I am going not to do, not just for presentation, I can write even the
entire explanation or things that I
usually tend to forget, So I can remember it. So I rewrite it
here. And just say, moving back to the first one, let us say that one thing
that I do is like, it's the, it's the year that he was
born and the year that he died. That's something
that I keep here. Sometime you can get mixed up
with, when you're giving an entire class who could
forget if it was 1664 or 1564. So just write it down. This is short, it's
simple and easy, it serves you as a presenter. So that's something that I
will keep here even if I don't think, just as
a crutch to myself. And here, he was an essential figure in the Scientific Revolution, explanation about the
Scientific Revolution, which I will give out loud. I can even write the entire
explanation in the notes. And these ones, I kept
it easy, stood trial with the Italian
Inquisition. He got a house arrest. Okay, So I'm thinking now, maybe I should
do a completely new, to put the
Scientific Revolution in this slide with his
astronomical discoveries, It's too big, and it's not really in line with the
rest of this slide. So I do want to make a
completely new slide just for the
Scientific Revolution. So I'll write it as a headline. And I don't need all that.
The Scientific Revolution. And now I will write
all the information. I will do it quickly here. Was the steppingstone of modern science. Had an important role in the decline of the church. And then after the
decline of the church we'll say, relied on the ability of people to think for themselves. And then I can write
here in the notes whatever I want to
elaborate on, and I think I will want to remember. And that will be, so
there's a lot to say, it will be a completely
different slide. I have here, I will... Okay, this is just one sentence. And this is fine and
this is fine. Okay. So now I have it clearer. Shorter sentences,
I changed some of the slides, and I'm ready
for the next step. Another thing that I'm thinking about is the purpose
of each slide. So this will be something
more instructional. And maybe I can do between
this one and this one, some sort of activity
with his photo. So I'll just write
it down for myself. Photo of Galileo,
it's just for myself. And then ask who he is,
and maybe people will guess, it's a nice
activity for the beginning. And maybe I can ask here what it the Heliocentric Theory. And then it will be a nice
question for the audience. So I'm thinking what's the
purpose of each slide, Wrote it here in the notes. I can make another slide
with the question. I don't always writing the notes, Sometimes I have a
different document where I write all my plans as well. And then in the end I
can have a summary. So I also plan what is my
goal for each slide. Of course, In the next video we will learn how to find the pictures and then we will
do that again and rethink. But this is another thing
that we should know ahead. What do we want from each slide? And at this stage,
after we finish with putting all the material
and all the text, we can think a little more
about activities, questions, and other
things that we want to do. So here it is, we have
a presentation that is not just a load of material, but also
it's more planned. the text supports our lecture or class, and is not
not overtaking it. We have a plan for what kind
of images we would like. We have activities and
questions we want to ask. And how we're
going to craft it. The story of the
presentation is clear. And now we're ready to
put in the images. Now, it's your time
to work on yours. Go do it, and I'll see you
in the next video.
4. 3rd Step: Add Images: So now we have all our
text organized. What we need now is:
Pictures and images. And lots of them. As we learned in the last video, our presentation is meant to support what we say out loud. We use words. So what can support
words? visuals. Students want to see what
you're talking about. It helps them understand better, keeps them interested
and engaged. How many pictures per slide? It really depends on the content and what
we're trying to show. For instance, if you're
showing a few examples, put in several pictures. If you're talking
about one thing, pick a picture that represents
it. But don't overcrowd. You're going to find sometimes so many good pictures and
images that you like. But remember, we want
the presentation to support us, not to
demand too much attention. You want it to be as clean and clear as
possible, not messy. Keep it organized. Don't make it too much. Don't make a distracting. Use the exact amount for
students to understand, but don't put more
than four in one slide. Unless you have a very,
very good reason. Now we can finally
look for images. It's something that's, it's a little bit different
way of thinking, It's more visual, It's creative in
a different way. So it's something
that I always like and enjoy when I make presentations. Beware that finding a good picture that
you can also use is not always easy. It sometimes takes
a lot of work. And that is exactly
why I'm here with my best tips and
tricks, to make it as easy and quick as possible. So here we have the cover again. And now when I think about it, I'm thinking that if I have a cover that says
Galileo Galilei, and then I have a picture asking them who it is, they will know. So maybe it can be
a good opening for the presentation to just have the picture and
then without the name. And then afterwards I will
show them Galileo Galilei and welcome them to the lecture. So I moved it up. And this will be my first slide. And as you can see,
we're always modifying, we're always changing,
we're always learning. Be sure to hear reviews and comments and change
what you do as you go, even after you start, nothing is set in stone. You can always learn,
you can always improve. So I will make as little
text boxes as possible. Because later when I design, it can come in the
way of the design. Even if I have an
empty text box, the PowerPoint will still
know that it's there and will take it under
consideration. So we want as little as possible. So I cleared the entire slide. So now on to the photo
of Galileo Galilei. He's very known, he's very famous, he's likely to come very quickly
in the search. So this should be fairly easy. As I said, I go to
Wikipedia first. Why do I do it? Because they give all the
details about how I can use them and they use
free photos to use. So that's the best way
to find good photos. So I go to Google.
And I'll just drive Galileo Galilei, and found him. And here it is, as expected, that's the first result. I will not go to images. Because when I do images, it can take it from
all sorts of places. And I don't know if
it's free to use and what are the terms. It's true that there is a way
to look for a free license photos, but it's not guaranteed. And you can never know for sure. I want to know for sure. I don't go to images. I do go sometimes to images if I'm looking for
something that is very, very specific and hard to find. Then I can't find it in my
normal way, my usual ways. And then I go there and try
to find a picture that I can use. But that's a little
bit more complicated, I will not get. So don't go to images.
Go to Wikipedia. So I have here a picture of him. This is the first
thing that I see. So I will look if
there is one more. And I see there's another
picture of him, but I think the one at
the top is better. Let's see if there's something
more that I could use. And I see, I have
here a machine he invented. And a lot
of... and his trial. So there's a lot of things we could use in the future, the face of the moon. So I will take this picture
and I'll click on it. And if you look for something that was
created a long time ago, so you can probably
use it for free. The reason being that
in most countries, the laws are that
it's public domain, which means free to use, after 70 or a 100 years after
the creator died. So that will be the
painter in this case. And here you can see at the bottom that
it's public domain. I can use it freely
for any purpose, So we're fine. I'll click on more details. And maybe I will look here, I can see who painted
it and what year. And the copyrights licensing
that it's public domain. So I will copy it and
I'll paste it here. You can save it and
then upload it. But I usually don't
do it because I don't need to. I don't want to have too many files that I'm
not going to use again. So as you can see on the right, it automatically opens
the design ideas. We will use it, but we will use it later. I want to teach you
exactly how to look for pictures, and how to build
it inside the presentation. Of course, once you
have more expertise, you can do it per slide. I usually do it per slide. It really depends, but I
will teach you step-by-step. So I will not do it now. And what I do is I go
back and I copy and I paste in the notes the address of the website because I didn't
have it saved. And it has a lot of information that I might need in the future. So I keep it here for myself. And of course you can do it
in any document you wish. But don't do it here because
it will interfere with the design of the
automatic design. So somewhere that
isn't on the slide. So I'm not touching it yet
because I'm not designing yet. And here I have the cover, so I will go back and now I want maybe a different
picture of Galileo. So it's still here. And I'll take this picture of him. And it's pasted here. I'm not even touching it
because as you can see, the automatic design will
make everything more clear. So I don't even need to
do anything. I don't need to touch it at all. And now I'm going back
to see the details. So click on more details. Here on this page you have
everything you need. It's public domain. You can have the
name of the painter. You see that it's a painting. You see the year. And let's say...
it's from the Ufizzi museum. Gives you the reason why
it's public domain. So you have all the details. So we don't need to
do anything special, but let's say I want to write the name of the
painter and the year. So so let's say I want to write the year. So I'm coping. And I want to paste it. And I want to paste it
but I will not do it now, because as I said it will interfere with the rest of the design. So I'm doing it here for
the meantime. In the notes, so we'll move it up later. And then again, I'm saving the address. And the entire presentation
because that's important. Okay. I really want to
make sure I have a picture on every slide. We don't want to bore,
we want it visual and we want to give examples. The audience wants examples. So I'll use it for the example afterwards
of how we design when we don't have images. But I really tried to do
as much as I can. So here his astronomical discoveries. He improved the telescope, so people are going
to want to know how his telescope looks
like. It will be really nice to have this
for the audience. So I'll go to Google again. And let's say I don't
know where it is. So I'm putting here
Galileo's telescope. Okay, I got misspelled, but Google will recognize, you can see, so it's
not so important. And I want a picture, as I said, I'm looking for Wikipedia,
Wikimedia Commons, which is where they keep their images. So because
it's not as clear. And let's say I didn't find
it on the original page. Wikimedia Commons. I write it straight away. And here, I found it. Galileo's telescope, and replica and
all these options. So I'm opening it in
different tabs. And here I can choose, see how much I can choose from. So I have this one, and this is not
really his telescope, so I'll go back. Here I have a really nice picture, so I'll get rid of this one, and I can use this one. So this is again public domain, which I like because
then I don't have to write all the details and
it saves me some work. A replica of the earliest
surviving telescope attributed to Galileo Galilei. And let's see if I have more. So this is how it
worked, and this is Museo Galileo,
it's Firenze, in Florence. And then this is a
very good example. You can see exactly
his own telescope. You have all the details
here in English. In Italian, sorry, but
you can understand it. And you have here in English
as well, where it's from, what it is, the date, the author, everything you need. And that's what I love about it. You have all the
details you need, so I want to use this one. And I look at the copyrights and you can see that this
is not public domain. So you can copy, distribute and transmit the
work, and adapt the work with attribution,
and share alike. Which means you need to
write the copyright, which is this one. This is the name of the license and the
number of the license. So there are different ways
to write different licenses. It's all written here for us. It's not so important f it's 2, 3 or 4. Just read it if you're not sure, it's
really easy to see. And then you can
just copy and paste. And you give the attribution So it's this name. And again, I want to write
it on the slide itself, but not yet. 2.5. All the details, we can write it shorter. I'll show you later, sometimes it looks different. And that's it. That's
pretty much it. All the details, and then once I have it
designed, I can put it up. And I'll save where I found it from, that's
so I can go back. And then of course, the picture. And again, automatic designs. But now I don't want
just one picture. I want more. So I'll just make
it smaller so I can see. Was the first one to see that the face of
the moon isn't smooth. So let's say for this one, I don't want to use a
historical picture. What I want to do,
is use a stock photo of the moon to give a little
bit more atmosphere. So what we're gonna
do is to go to free stock photos. And I actually have one that I
always use for me, It's the best. They
don't know me, I don't get
anything from them, but I really think
they're the best. And that's Pexels.
They deserve it, they deserve me sending
people their way. And I really think they
have very good pictures. But you can always Google free
stock photos and find out the ones that you may
like or may suit you better, because maybe not all
of us have the same needs. But I really
recommend this one. And I just search the moon. So we said that the face
of the moon is not smooth. and I can see a lot of pictures here of the moon
and for atmosphere. And it's so useful this website. I'll click on this one. And it's from Pixabay, and
it has a free download. And I can pretty much
use all of them. You see it's free to use. And I just copy
and I paste it. And of course, here I have, you can see how the designs
adjust really quickly. And there's so many
things you can use here, because they like...
you should use pictures. So even if you
have, I don't know, something about kitchens and it's not a particular kitchen. Just find a picture
of a kitchen from a free stock photo website
and use it. Or not free, you can pay for it. Just use it as an example,
as atmosphere. Use images. Now I go to the Scientific Revolution, and
let's see what Wikipedia, has to offer us. Because sometimes
I don't know in advance everything
that I want to do, so I'll just ask Wikipedia. And maybe they have. The Scientific Revolution
Wikimedia Commons. Then it will take me
straight to the pictures. And here I have, maybe I don't have
a clear idea of what I want. So here's a category,
Scientific Revolution. And you can see the category, I have different pictures of the
Scientific Revolution. So we can find many, many ideas. And here again, the bigger category,
Scientific Revolution. And if I didn't find
something that I like, there are different things
that I can look for. Okay. So I didn't find anything
that I like, so I'll go back to the Pexels. I'll just look for something
with science. Let's try to use the
Scientific Revolution. Nothing like it. Science. And it will have something
more atmospheric. So you have all the details. We don't really
need, because our our lecture or presentation is not about the
Scientific Revolution. So it doesn't need
to be this precise, but I do want something
for atmosphere. So this is science, so
let's copy-paste it. And let's look for some more. Something that we like. Oh, this is science,
this screams science. And this is very current, It's the Webb Telescope. Let's use it. You can, sometimes I give
the credit, not necessary but sometimes I do it. You can see all the
options we will have here. And here... so, but because I don't want so many options because
that's for atmosphere, I think I'll just leave
the scientist. Because I don't want too much
and I think that's the best of everything
that I found. So I'll stay with him. His discoveries about
the sun and the earth. He confirmed the Heliocentric Theory. Let's have a picture of Copernicus. Copernicus, let's say
Wikimedia Commons. Category: Nicolaus Copernicus, That's our guy. So that's him. Let's see what else. We have a lot of faces, so what else can we find? So we have a lot of books,
we can can go into each one and look what it is. We have here all the details, here more details, public
domain we have here. So really dive into it and find something
that is more original. That is the more interesting.
Don't go for just the first
image you see. So I found this statue of him. And here you can
see on the right, you will have it often. If you don't have it, you can see at the top, reuse this image or file. you have this reuse file. Click on it and then you have all the information
on how to reuse. So "use file on the web". And here I have
this, you see? Attribution. You have all the details
if I click on it. So this is very long. I can take it from
here or from here. So I can see copy, I copy, I paste. And I don't need
all that. Take it out. And then it's sometimes easier to use because
it's with the author. So you can do that as well. I save the address. I look for more
information if they have it. The rights to use
this, I'm not sure. And here we have this one. So I'll look for the
Heliocentric Theory, Wikimedia, our model. So it's still in
the public domain. This one, and I
want something else to talk about with Copernicus. we have the model and
we'll add his signature. I'm adding it so they have more information. So we have more
information and you can see how I'm getting
design straight away. And now for the finish, the
trial of Galileo Galilei, let's do something else. We can also use the pictures
in PowerPoint itself. It's not a bad thing to do. They actually have
pretty good ones. So it has pictures and
then stock images. And then they have
their own library. So I want a picture of a trial for this one. I can't find trial, so I'll try judge. And here, this looks like a trial. So I click on it. I can do more than one, you can see. So insert, insert
everything that I chose. I can have several
searches. And I can have a nice background or
something for the atmosphere. So now we have all of
our pictures ready. And all we need to
do is design them. Continue to learn
what to do with them.
5. 4th Step: Automatic Design the Right Way: Okay, now, the real
fun part that is high for people like us who
are not good at design. And real designers
may not like it, but for us, it's perfect. And I have to say that
I really enjoyed it. A little bit of relaxation
from the content and the sinking of the presentation, and I'm having a
little fun with it. So now let's learn how to design our slides with
the images in them. What I do, I used to
analyze and design of PowerPoint and
then build on them. This is why I told you before
what you want from me. Slide. This feature is amazing. It can analyze your needs and it gives you a variety
to choose from. Now that we know what we want
to achieve in each slide, and we have the text
and the images. We will know how to choose
the best design for names. Let's go do it. Finally, we're going to design. And I actually, that the
last part that we did, finding the pictures,
finding the copyrights, and deciding which
ones are best for us. Oh, this is actually takes longer than what
you're going to do. Now. This part is totally up to you how much
you want to invest, how much you wanted to put in. This is really simple. I'm not this I'm not like I'm
not discovering anything. Representative didn't know. I do teach you how to use it. Well and how to count on it. This is, as you
probably guessed, is design ideas. Use them. Because honestly, as I said, I'm not a designer and
the know-how to design, I don't do this kind
of visual imagination. So I use it. But the key is to use it. Well, this is what
we're learning here. So we do design and
then design ideas. This is how you approach it. And here you have for
each design as we saw, if when you put the image, it automatically shows you the design so you can
do it however you want. So we said that the first slide, we just wanted a picture
of the logo that we have. Here are a few options. We just scroll down
more design ideas. And why I want to do is not
just take what's create. It is also to say, what serves my
presentation best. For this one, I said I wanted to ask the audience the question, who is this man in the photo? So there are a lot
of pretty ones like this or like this or like this. But all of this is
distracting because although one of them is to
concentrate on this man. So I will use the first one and this is something
really nice that they do that they take this image and they put it on
the entire slide. So I use that quite
often and put it here because I think that's best to show the entire slide where
the patron asked for it. This is now the second slide. Sorry, no ideas for this slide. I have no idea why. Maybe because they used out, first of all make it smaller
because it's in the way. Okay. So that was maybe
a bag because it's giving it now and it did before. That's what I got
all get confused. So this is the covers
so I can use this. Okay. I will modify it later. I'm just showing you how
to choose the designs. And I can do like this. I think this one's pretty nice, but we already had a
different picture, so it looks too similar. Okay, but now because
they chose it, it will show us things. So I can scroll more. I think this one's nice
for the cover itself. So I think this is quiet. It gives us visionary
atmosphere. And he looks exactly there. He's like he's looking
at this sun or the moon in the
light of the skies. I kinda like it for the message. And it looks like a cover. So I'll take it. And now we have an example of a slide that is not with an
image that we put in advance. I don't have a lot of them, but I think this one is a good one because we
already saw two pictures of him and it has more information. So let's see who was he
really liked least once gives you some information
about when he was born. It's really organized
really well. As we said, the
presentation should support you in teaching. So I think the way it's
written here, the fonts, the colors, it's very
clear, it's very organized. It's hot. It's easy to understand each part
of what you're saying. So we have a few of them
and think this is the best. So I'll keep it. And also, if I get out of
this and then do it again, we will see that
it will give you more options in the same
style that I chose. So I can have this
and I can have this nice background because we can also choose a background. I like this one because
of the background, but I think the first
one was the best. So I'll just oh, sorry. I'll go back and do it again. Just remember that
these we already chose. Design, will choose an S designs
based on what you chose. So just if you want
to start fresh, go to the beginning
of what you did and then it will start
fresh with the options. You can do it several
times to see if it has options to your liking because it can give you
different options each time. And let's see why. Because here to offer
us design ideas. And he's throwing
called discovery. So now this is not so good for our message because we want the moon and this Tesco that the Washington one with all
of these are Cardinals. Boring. But you see how it organizes all the information and knows how to organize
really well. And we don't have
to do anything. We're just put pictures
on top of each other. This one's nice. But it's too much on because now it's too much on the moon. Yeah. It's not really looking more and more and more until there's some things
that they liked. So this is better because
here you can see clear, clear the telescope,
which I want. And then later we'll adjust
the font, make it bigger. So I'll keep it for
the time being. The morning. Don't want so central here. And I also don't want
the telescope caught. So let's see. Let's start again. Okay, I think this is our best option and
all modified layer. And here the
Scientific Revolution and we show this picture
as we said before, for atmosphere, it's not from
the Scientific Revolution. So something like that
could be nice if it were on the other side because you can't really see the face
of a scientist. But we don't need a photo. So central in the last slide, one of the oddest really be
able to see the telescope. Here. I don't need them to really see it as for atmosphere, it just for atmosphere, for decoration to
make it prettier. So it's not so central. You can't remove this
one. This is nice. I like this one because
I think it's very clear when they show like this and
here, this is really good. I think I'll use this one
because the scientists adjusting the background and
it has all the information. We can change the colors later. And then we have per
nucleus and we chose three pictures for this line for the audience to better know him. So this is really nice. I like this one because it shows that a lot I can
really explain about him. Why did, did, and then
it has a good headline. And then the explanation is smaller for the
ones who need it. But it's not essential because
the audience will hear me. So I like the way the
pictures are really, really well shown and
I can choose yeah, I think I'll give
this. Let's see. Yeah, this is good
because you can see Copernicus like this and
it's pretty out. Keep this. It's also a matter of personal
taste or a few good ones. And then in the end, He's trial. I can choose this line
which is nice for trial. As we said before, the picture is not so important. I think for the end, will I suggest you do some sort of a summary
of what you learned, all know them and say now, because it has enough
demonstrations, but it's always good to
have something like that. And as you can see, now, it gave me other options with
the same kind of design. So I can choose something
different things I like. This is pretty much it. We have all the designs. As you can see, I did not put
too much effort and color, but we can change the color
and make it seem more. Because some of it fits, matches, some of it doesn't. I think it's okay to
take each slide for itself and we'll see now how you can modify it to
better suit their needs. Before you go and design
your own presentation, watch the next video
on how you can modify the design learning and then go back to
your presentation. And I'll see you there.
6. 5th Step: Modify Your Design: Now your presentation
is pretty much ready. But sometimes you will
need or want to modify to better suit your needs
or making it prettier. I'll show you how you can
do it quickly and easily. Great. Now we're almost done. We're actually that. But what I'm going to teach
you now is how you can modify your presentation
to better suit your needs. And once you really don't have to use it is
you don't have time. If everything looks
good for you, then you don't
have to mortified. But the more goods into it, the more I do it, I want
to change the fonts here. So assume you know how to
change the fonts home, and then I'll make it smaller, let's say 30, my name, and then the headline
will be bigger. So let's say ADA,
think that's fine. We'll put it in the center. We can of course
change the fonts. I think I don't put so
much attention on the car, but I do think that we need one font that will
take us through or don't mess too much with the fonts unless you have a good reason to
demonstrate something. So let's just
something from that. This will lead to something that looks nice for our presentation. I don't recommend to get too
crazy with it because you want the font to be clear,
to be understandable. So go for this one. No, I don't like this one. So you will try a few of them. Then choose one. I don't think you should go
too crazy because as we said, the purpose of the presentation
is to support you. You don't eat only to
be too creative and audience to have
trouble understanding. Some Sherwood time, you will find ones that you like better. And I like this slide, so we'll use this one. Then. I just noticed there's some
things you can generate, some not so he's a design
gave me this orange line. I can't change it. I can move the picture
from side to side. So we have here the
entire picture, but I don't want to do
that because as we said, he just mortifying were
for designers. Designers. We go in and touch too much
and create too much work. This is not what we do here, but we can change
the color for this. This is too boring
for the cover. So of course we can
change it here. You can have the
same colors that PowerPoint identified
as your theme color. It's taking it from the images
and the colors you use, so it matches the images. So let's say I will take
this nice light blue one. Then if I stand here, I can have shaped format. And here there are also
two ways to shape. This is automatic. It will always be
the same design. So if you really in a hurry, you can use all of this. It will all, it's always the same sort of designs that
a little bit more special. So you can use all of them and I think all of them
fit as a headlight, but what you can do more. So let's say I want to have here could change that color. So I will take the
light blue on. And here you can have
the frame around it. You can see how it changes
with each color that I touch. I don't want to use one here, but you can use line and then we have other
options like shadow. Respect to t. And then you have
reflection and glow. I like glow. It makes it a little
bit more festive. I really like it then that's also just a personal preference. So we can have some glow on
it and choose the color. So let's do this one
and just play with it. See all the options
that you have about it. I said, I think the
glow is too much. So. Notice globally with
though I want to. But you can use a display
with Apple's fun with it. It's really all
about having fun. But remember, don't
make it too messy. Don't make it to five. It's for the others and
it's the supportive. What do we have here? We didn't have that option
for this demonstration. He didn't give it to
us automatically, but sometimes it uses symbols. I do insert. And then I can choose. You'll give you icons of
what you want to say. It didn't give us automatically
for this demonstration. But it's really like when they interpret what I'm trying to say with
our own images. So I hope it will do it for you, but you can always
change it and modify it. So let's say he was
born when he was born. So let's have a baby and
place the baby here. And again, carbon
gives me design ideas. Okay, so I chose a few symbols, you can put it here and the
triangle wherever you want. And you can see I got a
little bit more designs, which I don't really like so much because this is
just for the correlation. It doesn't need to be that big. I have to say that I always
learned how to do these icons because so many times automatically is pretty
much how it looks like. They find the word
something that symbolizes what you mean in the sentence and
find it for you. So it's really fun
and really nice. And this is how it looks like. Generally sell wanted
to show it to you. If they're born,
we have the dyed, the astronomy and the
disciplined academia. And you can do that
as well and use that. But let's say this is too small, I want to make it bigger. So I'll mark this. And then Smart Art Design. And then I can change pretty
much everything about this. So I really don't want
you to do too much of it. Only if you have time, if you really didn't
sign something you liked or you have
something like one to do. Just remember that these
designs are very good. And the goal is to make
it easy, easier on us. But also I think
it's not big enough. So I'll make it bigger. Then I can move this all
of these separately, but I don't want to ruin it. And as I said, I don't want to mess
it up too much, just know they can do it and
then modify the rest of it. And then I go to Smart Art Design again and look at the options as they
don't like this one. I can do this one or this one. Here at the top. It
gives me all the options with all the colors
and I have the arrows, and I can do this. I think this is much prettier. Or this, or that you have so
many options to play with. Also, if I don't like
the way it's done, I can choose between this and this and this and all the
options I was given before. If I want to go back, I can just use those. So this is a really good option that I think it's
very, very helpful. I can change the colors. So I can do it like this. And ECG changes automatically. Don't want to. I really
like the other colors. Of course, the fonts to change
to our font to Verdana. And then making just one line. The font maybe smaller, so it will be in one line. Yeah, that worked. And as it gets shaped, format and make it
whatever I want. So these are really
the automatic things that we use and then home. And it changed again anyway. We just play with it. That's here. That's made it bigger than
it become the textbox. So we just play with
it as much as we like until We're happy and satisfied. So it was fine before, but we can modify it to
how I want it to be. Santos is a PowerPoint, chooses symbols for you. They don't always fit. So it's important that
you know how to do it and make it nicer. I'm not sure. Made it nicer. I really think it
looks nicer before. Actually, I'll make
it small again. Yeah, that's, that's
a little bit better. And then do it like this. So here I just moved
it a little bit, but as you saw them aren't
actually the list booted look. So I really see
these mortifying to an IV couldn't find the
design that they liked. Or I have everything in a certain color and then wanting a completely different color
and I want to adjust it. But really if I have a good
reason, because as I said, where designers, this is not for designers and the more
try to modify the list. Here we've talked
before about the font. So I'll change the font again. And I think that's
good. That 28. Let's try for Diana. And I think literally 40. Yeah, I think that's good. Maybe we'll try a
different color so we can have this kind of blue. And we'll put all
the details that 12 and all the copyright. I think this may be a
little bit dark because the rest of the presentation
is not so dark. So let's change the color
on the Smart Art Design, and it gives me the option
to make it a white. So let's do this. Changeover Donna, and
here as well. Center. I think headlines and most
of it should be centered. Make it bigger. Maybe 50. And then this textbox
will be wider and then it will all be
at, we don't need the dot. Okay? So that's basically it. I can touch more. I don't want to and I
think this is fine. I don't want to touch it, maybe just the background. So you can right-click then
the format background. So you have all these
options here that you can play with the background
with a pattern picture. I think this background seats more so than a lot of
options display with it, maybe a color from
the color theme. So maybe this one. And then we'll play with
it and leave it at that. And here, we need to
change the color here. So this is normal black because the background is
interesting enough. And I wanted to stand out
and change this once. Then I'll make it a
little bit bigger. Now this is too big on, I keep the smaller again. 24, I want to make it prettier. Go to Shape Format and something black with the shadow, I think. Okay. The rest of it is trial, which should definitely do
it a little bit bigger. Let's see if we have first, I tried to quicker options. Let you this one and we can have a frame and then some
color around it, but I don I don't like it because I wanted
to see the picture. I think it looks really
nicely with the picture. And then we'll do the same
one for the headline. 32. And here you have all the
options to add like an arrow. Then say he's trial. Then we'll make a
little bit smaller, smaller, smaller,
smaller, smaller. Here. And in this way we can show that this is what
it's trying to lead to. So that kind of symbolizes
walk his trial lead to. And here I can have the different colors up
there for the arrow. So I'll choose the white wine and make this
picture by mistake. And every time I tried to show the text
box, make it smaller. Something I can use also
the arrows on the keyboard. Then maybe these bold, okay, it's not very nice. Caliber like look thin. Okay, so basically
we can do all this. It can touch this because
this is part of the design. And here you have
everything you touch, you will gave you more options. Here, here, here, here. When I touch the picture. So I have some options
for the frame, but I don't like
them. I know on them. Because I don't want to
play too much with it. Because the design looks
really nice that it is. I'll go back, back,
back to the original. And the last thing that
we need to do is add all the copyrights and all
the details of the images. The reason I'll say it again, the reason why we didn't do
it in advance is because the design ideas don't
work or don't work. When there are too
many textboxes, they don't know how
to work with it. So make sure you have
as little as possible. And if it said that it
doesn't have ideas, take out a few of them. You could also see that I combine my sentence In one
textbox and not several, because then it will
not give me ideas. So I do it in the end. You can do it per
slide or all of them. How you prefer. I'll demonstrate on one of them we don't
need all of them. So we insert text box here, Galileo's telescope. Then I can put it
here, make it to y, and I can play with
the fonts, the colors. However I wish, will do this for each image that needs it. That's it. We have a presentation. Let's look at how
it's displayed. So this is a presentation, and this is how it's displayed. And we start with a
question to the audience. Who is this man?
They will answer. It will be a nice
equation to start. Then we have the cover. I will explain about who he was. And it looks so pretty it looks. Then we explain about astronomical discoveries
a little bit about the Scientific Revolution. Look how easy it is to see, how clear it is for the audience and pretty to look at and easy to understand. Then we'll talk a little bit about the Sun and the
Earth and Copernicus and I can explain about Copernicus himself,
about his theory. So that pictures
to support that. Then his trial for the add
the yellow glaze trial. Here look always start as a blank presentation and
then some words on slides, black and white, and Luke, where we are now. And how pretty it is, how many images, how
easy it is to look at, how easy it is to understand. And all of this without big designers are
learning design. And yeah, that's pretty much it. That's all you need now is the time to modify
what everyone in your own presentation and
getting ready to do it now. And I'll see you in
the next video where I'll talk about
our class project.
7. Your Class Project: Well done, You've made it, now is the time to upload and get your
class project ready. So if you haven't
finished it yet, this is exactly the time to go over your presentation
and finish it. Add some touches if you want
for now or for future use. You can go to Project
and Resources tab. You can find a list of all the steps I've
taught in this class. When you're done with
your presentation uploaded to the project
and resources tab. So we can all learn from
each other and get inspired. I really look forward
to seeing your work.
8. Thank You and Keep In Touch: So this is the, if you did it, look
at your presentation, it's full of images, the right amount of
texts, it's pretty, it's engaging and support your teaching just
the right way. And the best thing is you didn't even have
to learn design. Thank you so much for participating in my
class and completing it. I hope you like learning as
much as I liked the ticket. If you liked it, please leave a review. That's been very helpful and I'm always happy
to hear from you. Then follow me here on
Skillshare so we can keep in touch and you'll get
updates on my new classes. Forests, write your questions in the discussion tab so
everyone can learn from them, and you're welcome
to do that as well. So good luck with all
your presentation. And hopefully I'll see you soon. Bye.
