What do you mean by slides?

Introduction: Also known as positive film, it is a negative or film. Common specifications are 135 and 120. Usually in color, but there are also black and white positive films for special purposes. It can also be used to print or enlarge photos.

Physics: When studying, teachers often show us photos with projectors. Most of these slides are put into the projector for projection. Photos are called photographic slides and color photos are called color slides. Now there are no black-and-white reverse films, so we have to shoot positive films with negative films, almost all of which are taken with color reverse films. The mainstream is to fill one by one with the size of 35 mm, and the rolled slides are called long slides.

Electronic documentary: it is a dynamic display effect composed of words, pictures and so on. Add some special effects.

It is a PPT format file produced by Microsoft PowerPoint. Simply put, it is an illustration that you show others when you give a speech. It is an auxiliary tool, which can explain your point of view more directly and intuitively and make it easier for the audience to understand. If you are in business, then Power Point will definitely become the tool you need.

You can view it with PowerPoint in Office, and of course you can also view it with other viewers, such as the browser software that comes with Windows or Acdsee.

Other types: With the development of computers, many inherent things have changed greatly, and slides are no exception. Now, there are various special effects in slides made with flash, slides that can play pictures through HTML programs, and many different types of slides that we often see!

PowerPointPowerPoint, like application software such as Word and Excel, is one of the series of office products launched by Microsoft. It is mainly used to design and produce electronic slides of advertisements and product demonstrations, and the produced presentations can be played on computer screens or projectors. With PowerPoint, you can not only create presentations, but also hold face-to-face meetings, teleconferencing or show presentations to the audience on the Web. With the popularization of office automation, PowerPoint is widely used. In PowerPoint, there are still some differences between presentations and slides. What PowerPoint makes is called a presentation, which is a file. Each page in a presentation is called a slide, and each slide is an independent and interrelated content in the presentation. It can be used to express the content more visually, and charts and words can be presented clearly and quickly. You can insert rich content, such as pictures, animations, notes and handouts. Please refer to Hong En Online/PC/OA/pp2k/pp2k01kloc-0/.htm for the production of PowerPoint. At present, Microsoft OFFICE software and Jinshan WPS software are commonly used for the production of electronic document slides.

Key points of production

script

The line is not less than 1.5 lbs.

The font should be no less than 18 point, so that the audience sitting in the last row of the conference room can see it clearly.

Avoid using too many fonts and reduce the use of underline, italics and bold.

Try to use fonts with the same stroke thickness in slides, such as bold, Arial and Tahoma.

If you use English, don't use all capital letters. On the one hand, it is disrespectful to the audience (spelling in capital letters means yelling at others), which is not as easy to identify as lowercase letters.

The text font is slightly smaller than the title. Don't fill the slides with words. If there are too many words, I'd rather divide them into multiple slides.

The text should be as consistent as possible. If the whole set of slides use too many fonts and styles, it will look fancy, untidy and unprofessional, and its readability will be greatly reduced. If you use too many fonts, the audience will mistakenly think that you deliberately emphasize a certain information, but it is not. Even so, you can't emphasize too much information and have too fancy fonts in your speech.

If you really need to use interesting fancy fonts for topics you are interested in, choose fonts that are more readable than those that are difficult to recognize and bend. However, please use these fonts with caution.

colour

Font color and background color: Black text with blue background can be clearly seen on the screen, but it is not clear when output as a slide show. White characters on a blue background or yellow characters on a black background will be very eye-catching.

Note that color is related to mood. Dark blue and gray give a sense of manpower and stability; Red generally means warning or emergency; Green represents life and vitality. Colors can also affect the clarity of slides. Slides need to be shown in a dark room, so you need to use a dark background and light text. Blue, purple and green are suitable for background color, while white, yellow and red are suitable for foreground color.

The golden rule of color: dark blue background, golden title, light blue subtitle, white text and golden bullet.

template

PowerPoint has many templates, which brings us a lot of convenience in designing slides. But some templates are not suitable, so don't use them with shallow background.

Use a gradient in the background. Put the dark color at the bottom of the slide; Light color in the upper left corner. Because readers often start reading from the top left, don't let the background be too strong to compete with the text in the foreground.

Please set the page as a 35mm slide and leave a margin of 0.5 inch around it to prevent the content from being covered by the slide box.

title

All slide titles should use the same font, size, format, location and color.

The font size of the title is the largest in this slide.

The title should be placed at the top of the slide, because it can attract the audience's attention most.

Subtitles are smaller in font than the main title and should be placed in the same position on each page.

bullet

Generally 3-5 per page, no more than 7.

Bullets are followed by phrases, not sentences.

Phrases should be consistent in structure, for example, they all adopt verb-object structure, or they are all nouns.

There are no more than 14 Chinese characters or 7 English words after each bullet.

Don't make the same series more than one page.

The layout of each slide

Each slide has at most 5-6 bullets, and the sentences in each paragraph should be short, so as to make the text bigger and easier to identify.

Don't fill every slide with information: don't put the whole paragraph on the slide. If so, it is a great disrespect to the audience, because he has finished reading your content silently now, and you are still watching the slides slowly. If the slides are short, you can switch frequently to make your speech more vivid and attract the attention of the audience.

Don't turn PowerPoint files into Word files. Only keywords or short sentences appear on the slide, not everything you want to say. If you write down everything you want to say, you don't have to say it, because reading silently is much faster than reading aloud.

Each slide shows only 1-2 main contents. In this way, you can explain what you want to say orally, and the audience can understand your content twice. The first time they look at the main points on the slide by themselves, and the second time they listen to you. This can also speed up the speed of changing slides, and the audience is actually looking forward to constantly changing slides. If you don't change the next slide for a long time, your attention will shift to other places.

general layout

There is a title slide: Tell the audience who you are and what you want to say.

Prepare a summary slide: preparing a summary slide will give you a chance to emphasize your message again before ending your speech. The audience can also get the main message from what you said before, which is what you want them to remember when they leave the meeting.

Title slides are arranged for the first and last slides: the first title slide (including the title of the speech and your name) will let the audience know who you are and what you want to say; The last slide is the same as the first one. You can use it to end your speech.

The format of the whole set of slides should be consistent, including color, font, background, etc.

Use the same set of slides horizontally or vertically. Don't mix, because the content will exceed the screen.

Add some pictures appropriately: after the text is entered, check all the slides again and divide those slides with too much text into 2-3. Then select some slides and add some pictures to attract the visual. People always expect some pictures. It would be better if the moral of the picture is related to the main content of the slide.

page setup

It is generally recommended to use Microsoft PowerPoint to make slide files. Adobe Pagemaker and Photoshop can also be used to output slides, but if there is PowerPoint, there is no reason to choose these softwares, which are more suitable for typesetting and graphic processing. PowerPoint: File-Page Setup-Slide Size, select "35mm Slide".

Adobe Pagemaker: please set the page aspect ratio to 3:2, such as 9"x6 "or 1 1" x 7.33".

Adobe Photoshop: image-image size image size-print size: the ratio of width to height is 3:2, for example, 3 inches ×2 inches; The resolution can be set to 300- 400 dpi (pixels/inch). Please select RGB color instead of CMYK color in image mode.

picture scanning

Scanned pictures can be directly inserted into pages or templates, but beginners often don't know how to control scanning accuracy and file size.

The corresponding sliding cover size is 7.33 inches x 1 1 inch (18x27cm). Slide output device, page size is 4096 pixels x 2732 pixels. We suggest that you define the size of document graphics as 4 inches x 6 inches to 7.5 inches x 1 1.25 inches.

When you scan or make an image, use 375 DPI if the graphic size is close to 8 x 10 inch (20x25 cm). 375DPI has the best accuracy; If the graphic size is close to 4x 6 inch (10x 15cm), please scan or set it to 750DPI, and the slide output device will try to make your 4x 6 inch image fit the size of 7.33x1inch (18x27). If the precision you set is lower than 375DPI, the output precision will be lower.

Save the graphics file as TIFF (*. TIF) format, and choose LZW to compress or save as JPEG (*. JPG) format. Note: For the same file, you should edit it all before saving it in JPEG format. Don't save it as JPEG multiple times. For example, you should save it as JPEG immediately after scanning, and save it after making some modifications, but don't save it immediately after scanning, and then save it as JPEG when all the modifications are completed and you are ready to close the file.
