Presentation authoring
; ot. ....i I probably have created many presentations in different subject
e-eas but you may not have developed skills in all the areas needed
for the examination. For the examination you need to have the skills
to be able to create and control an interactive presentation.
The key concepts covered in this chapter are:
.. Using a master slide to place objects andtsone
set stytes
•• Creating presentation slides
.. Creating notes for the presenter and audienceutsrponihgeaPC
In this chapter you will be learning how to create presentations using
the software MS PowerPoint2007. There is other presentation software
available having similar features that could be used. MS PowerPoint
is a brand name so you would get no marks for giving brand names
in the examination. So rather than say "use MS PowerPointU you
would say use "presentation software".
Creating a presentation
The need for consistency
in a presentation
All the slides in a presentat on s"'ould look as if they belong together.
This means they should al 1ave a sirntar oeslgn.1t is acceptable that
the first slide is different :0 the others because it usually shows just
the title of the presentation and sometimes the presenter's name.
Consistency needs to be considered before you start your
presentation. Here are some of the things you will need to consider:
~~ Slide design - sides -ieed TO have a consistent oesign that
has been designed n advance. Once the presentation has

choose what point size for headings, sub-headings. and body
text (i.e., the main text),
~. Colour schemes - all the slides need to use the same combination
of colours for components such as banners, borders, etc.
~~ Transitions - these are the movement from one slide to ne next.
There are lots of eye catering transitions but you need to maxe
sure you do not use a different one 'or each slide transition
.. Animations - animations are movement on the actual slide.
For example. you can animate the ,'lay bullet points appear on
each slide. Make sure that animations are used consistently

schemes. fonts, etc., that you must add to a master sl de.
