It is utmost important for people or designers to understand document design. Document design can be defined as the physical appearance of a document (Reep, D, 2006). A good power point is not only judged by the content but also judged by the visual presentation of the slides (Reep, D, 2006).
“Document must have a good communication to the audience in order keep audience attention in the content”. (Petelin, P, 1996)
they want for a document (Reep, D, 2006). For this powerpoint slides of mine, I chose to use this theme because it is simple with proportionate of colors as it isn’t splashed with too many colors that will make the audience confused.
However, it is regretful to say that spaces in between points are not available in the slides. Reep has asserted that white spaces in a slide help to give the reader’s eye a rest and direct them to important information. Slides with too much words and insufficient of white spacing will make the audiences lose their interest rather quickly.
As stated above, it is important to engage the audiences with the power point and not bore them off with the whole presentation therefore, it is important to take into account the design principles for a good power point presentation.
