He explores communication in all its manifestations - foreign languages, psychology of communication, oratory and visualization - and willingly shares his discoveries with others. Uses a scientific approach to everyday things and believes that being a scientist is interesting.

Much has been said and written about how to make a presentation. Despite this, today students and high school students are clutching their heads, getting the task to prepare a presentation for their project. And then - and teachers with teachers, watching dozens of template slides and reading microscopic text written in red letters on a bright green background. What to do?

It is enough to look at the best world samples. To do this, let's go to Slideshare.net - a site with 70 million monthly audience dedicated exclusively to presentations - and choose the best work of all time and in all categories. These are not only presentations that have been watched by 100 thousand to 3.5 million people, but also those that are most often shared by users, marked as liked and downloaded. We will try to find what unites them in terms of design, content and in general.

Design

1. Photos are used much more often than diagrams, diagrams and other graphic elements. Moreover, the pictures do not directly depict what is said in the text, but develop the symbolic meaning of the words (freedom is a bird, novelty is a light bulb, and so on). A large number of photographs are emotional faces.

2. The palette of the 15 most popular presentations in the world is dominated by warm shades (yellow, red, orange, brown) on a white or light gray slide background. It is noteworthy that the color and emotionality of the content coincide. For example, light web colors in a calm presentation about Google and emotional red hues in “What the hell is this social media?!”.

3. Use one or two types of fonts and constant text size throughout the presentation (larger for headings, smaller for body text). There is a clear trend towards sans serifs (13 out of 15 presentations use sans-serif fonts).

2. Ambiguous intriguing headlines that create the effect of mystery ("Mobile ate the world", "... secret empire", "No one really knows that ...", "How to find the meaning of life ..."). In the headlines of 8 of the 15 best presentations in the world there is a question: “How does it work?”, “What would you do?”, “What is needed?” and so on.

3. The information is divided into parts. For this, numbered lists are actively used, as well as the rule “one slide - one thought”. Another interesting feature was found: in nine presentations, the authors divide sentences into phrases, simulating pauses in a live conversation. The viewer has time to think about the line while the next slide switches.

General Features

1. Capturing attention at the start of a presentation. The technique is surprisingly repeated in all 15 presentations: on the first 3–10 slides, the problem is identified and its scale and significance are proved. “There are 350 presentations every second in the world… and 99% of them are bad”; “Who is doing the right thing with social media? Dell, Starbacks… and you?”; "Did you know that..?"; Why do we need to know what a strategy is? After that, the author proposes a solution, says: “I know how to solve this problem. Here are 10 tips to help...

2. Simplicity in everything - fonts, pictures, words used, language and so on. The most complex ideas are presented as simply as possible, broken down into understandable unambiguous theses, the authors avoid using terminology.

3. The concept or unifying idea is in all the best presentations in the world. And this is the most important thing. The concept is the feature that is interesting to the viewer. A simple sincere conversation or pathos emotional performance, sarcastic frankness or a benevolent explanation of the smallest details. The concept can be traced in the way information is presented, speech and visual accompaniment. Creates an image that highlights this particular presentation from thousands of others.

The found criteria are a guideline. The main thing in any presentation, as in any other speech, is the confident knowledge of what he is talking about.

Presentations are often needed not only by working people who promote a company, service or product, but also by schoolchildren and students. Moreover, the latter are met with them much more often. The global network offers a huge number of ready-made presentations that can be saved to a computer and slightly redone. More risky ones can hand over the work without changes. However, thanks to various kinds of anti-plagiarism, this may turn out to be a mistake. However, for further viewing, study of the material, or just for familiarization, this option is ideal. How to download presentations from the Internet, made in different formats, is indicated below.

What is a presentation

Before you understand how to download presentations from the Internet, you need to understand what such a document is in general. Microsoft's PowerPoint is one of the most popular presentation tools. In it, you can create slides on which text, images are located, you can also add musical accompaniment.

There are also services on the Internet that allow you to download ready-made presentations that are easy to add or change. For example, presentations are often made using Adobe Flash. They are also called simply "Flash" for short.

How to download presentations from the Internet

The first method helps to download a "flash" to a computer. For this you need:

• Open page code. This is done by right-clicking the mouse and then selecting the "view page code" line.
• Find the URL of the video. It has SWF resolution.
• Enter the found address in the search bar.
• Use the downloader program to save the video to your computer.

This method tells you how to download a presentation from the Internet to a computer. This option is good for introduction.

However, sometimes there is a need to have a finished presentation on some medium. To understand how to download a presentation to a USB flash drive from the Internet, you need to clarify in which folder the loader saves. If you change the path by selecting the address of the media, then the save will go directly to the USB flash drive.

Download presentations in a different format

Most often, sites offer to click on the "Download" button to proceed to download the presentation. After that, the user is offered a download window, which itself tells you how to download presentations from the Internet.

First of all, you should choose the path where all the files are saved. Sometimes this can be set automatically. You can change it in your browser settings. Then a panel will appear at the bottom of the page, which shows how much has already been downloaded. You can also click on an already saved file to open the presentation.

In a similar way, the download is made to any other medium, for example, to a USB flash drive. You just need to choose the path to it. If the choice is made automatically or you need to save a document that is already on your computer, then you can open the folder with the necessary presentation file, and then send it using the right mouse button and select the "send" line. Then the choice of the path is also made. Such presentations in the future can either be finalized or left unchanged.
