Dynamic Design & Patient Mind

Prezi are Active,

While PowerPoints are Static.

Personally, I don't think I'll ever go back to PowerPoint unless I absolutely have to. PowerPoint are 2D, while Prezi are 3D, and that difference completely transforms the experience of presentations. Both are used to present information, but they offer very different levels of engagement. Prezi makes presentations more interactive, dynamic, and visually appealing.

Helpful Advice for Prezi Beginners.

If you've never created a Prezi before, I would definitely recommend watching a few tutorials first. At first, I tried to skip the help and figure everything out on my own - BIG mistake! I quickly became frustrated. Eventually, I looked up some tutorials online, and they made a huge difference.

Tools & Tutorials I Used.

This YouTube tutorial, How To Use Prezi explained things clearly and helped me get back on track. After watching it, I felt more confident and ready to try again.

Personally, I don't always have the patience to watch a tutorial video, so I prefer to read clear steps and figure things out at my own pace. If you are like me and want a more direct approach, these steps will help you get started without feeling overwhelmed.

Steps To Get Started:

Create a Prezi Basic account using your name, e-mail, and password.
Choose a Template that best fits your presentation style.
Outline main points and plan of your presentation.
Customize your presentation using the side bar (colors, layout, images, and text).
Review and make final visual adjustments.
Use the Present button to preview your Prezi and make any final edits.

My Experience Using Prezi.

Once I began working on my own Prezi, I used a premade template and adjusted it to fit topic: Request Messages. This experience taught me not just about presentation design, but also about patience.

It's Wasn't About Learning Prezi; It Was About Learning Patience.

Overall, learning how to use Prezi was a valuable experience. At first, it felt unfamiliar and a little overwhelming, but taking time to learn and practice using the platform made a big difference. Creating my presentation helped me understand both the topic and the software more clearly, and I gained confidence as I continued to work with it.

Design That Speaks Louder Than Words

"A good sketch is better than a long speech" a quote often attributed to Napolean Bonaparte, highlights how powerful visual can be.
