The original title: "[academic defense PPT] what kind of experience is it to help a doctor modify PPT? "

This is the PPT manuscript we are going to revise this time:

(Dr. Chen's Master's graduation PPT) generally speaking, it is a relatively standard PPT, but there are still some common questions worth paying attention to.

If you were asked to make changes on this basis, what would you do? Think about it for a few seconds

I think most of my friends do this by opening the file directly from the first page and beautifying the design page by page. (if you are the same, you should take a good look at the following.)

I think 90% of people do this, but I think there are two more important tasks to do before beautifying:

2 main points

Check whether the logic is smooth

Check whether the number of pages is reasonable

1. First of all, the logical framework is to check the logic of the whole PPT, which I believe many students have ignored. But logic is actually the key to the success of your defense.

So how to see if the logic of the whole PPT is smooth? What I usually do is switch to the slide view:

All slides are shown on the same page, viewed from God's point of view.

Then we extract the core information of each page to build this structured view:

At the top is the title of the paper (which is also the theme of the paper), light blue is the chapter catalogue, and the white box below is the main content of each chapter. By building this framework, the structure of the whole PPT can be clearly presented.

It can be seen that this defense is a progressive structure: what is it (what is the water jet and what are its characteristics), why (what causes the error in the production process), what to do (how to remove this error)

I hope you in front of the screen will be able to draw a logical PPT framework in any future PPT report. After all, only the skeleton is correct, the subsequent beautification is meaningful, otherwise everything is in vain.

two。 How many pages PPT is appropriate for the page count setting? As a matter of fact, there is no definite conclusion. But there is a basis for reference, that is, the length of your reply:

The above pages are for reference only. I hope you can have a clear concept of time. Just imagine, if you have only 10 minutes in a defense, you have done 50 pages of PPT. Then no matter how perfect the logic and design are, it is futile, because you can't finish within the specified time.

OK, after checking these two most important points, we can move on to the page beautification phase. First of all, to be clear, in my opinion, academic PPT only needs to do these three things:

Neat typesetting, outstanding highlights and uniform color

In popular terms, it is clean and concise. Do not try too hard, the academic PPT is too "good-looking", because too gaudy design will not appear to be academic rigorous.

Six tips so this time we will revise an academic style PPT from the most practical and concise point of view. I believe that the following six operating skills, even if you have no foundation, you can quickly get started:

1. Do you know the difference between master and template in the early stage of design?

I think most people don't know. To put it simply:

Master: a design specification

Templates: mostly just style references

This PPT manuscript uses an online template:

It seems OK, but when we switch to the master view, we will find that it actually has only one empty shelf:

The title bar in the inner page is even empty, the subsequent operation of a unified title can not be done, the practical value is not high.

Therefore, the master needs to be done before beautification.

The master generally includes: color matching standard, font standard, and 5 skeleton pages. The following is the master standard I set:

Color matching can be taken from the school logo and the official website:

Academic font standard: Weirou yahei + Arial

5 large master skeleton:

Set the advantages of master: one-click color change, layout change, unified style, etc.

For specific master operations, you can view this article:

There are a few gigabytes in the PPT master, but can you really use it?

two。 The cover of the original cover of campus or related high-definition photos is as follows:

The biggest problem with this cover is that homogenization is serious and boring. Basically, 10 people replied, and eight of them looked like this. How to design a new and good-looking cover?

The easiest way is to use high-definition photos, such as choosing experiment-related photos or campus photos. Campus photos are preferred here (because good-looking and suitable academic photos are hard to find).

Here are 4 campus photos I found:

Here to ask you a question, which of these four photos would you choose for the cover? I believe that everyone's answer is different. Here I would like to make an objective analysis:

1. There is a blank at the top, which can be selected.

two。 There is a blank at the top, which can be selected.

3. There is not enough white space, which is not suitable.

4. The overall picture is too dark and the picture is too full to fit.

In 1 and 2, I finally chose 2. Because relatively speaking, there are too many elements under 1, which is messy and lack of clarity.

So we use the photo as the background and add the text:

Is it much better and has the characteristics of the campus? it can be used to do this. If you want to optimize further, you can do this:

The specific changes are as follows:

1. Use a white gradient mask to obscure the clouds behind to highlight the theme

two。 Add color blocks to names to increase the contrast between words

3. Add elements such as bookmarks and lines to enrich page details

4. Brighten the background photo to make the picture cleaner

At this point, a good-looking and suitable academic defense PPT cover has been made, isn't it very simple?

3. After dividing the center area and arranging it evenly, many people may be unfamiliar with the concept of the center. Popularly speaking, it is the area filled in in PPT:

If you can make sure that every page is evenly filled in this area, it's better than 80% of people.

If you don't believe it, here are a few pages intercepted from the manuscript:

Do you feel that the content is very scattered? this is because they are not evenly distributed in the center of the page:

This phenomenon is not an exception, usually many people in order to "fast", copy and paste various elements directly into the page, the final effect is very rough.

So what does a qualified PPT page style look like? Here are a few pages of examples I have done:

Don't ask how cool the form is, but at least the content is fully filled in the center area of the edition:

Does it look more professional? This is the work of Bian Xin

4. Using color blocks to divide regions if there are any omnipotent skills in academic PPT design, I would certainly say it is with the help of color blocks.

To take a simple example, this is a page from the manuscript:

Because the elements are long and short, which leads to scattered distribution, you can use color blocks to place the content:

Using rectangles to put those scattered elements together will make the boundaries look more orderly and orderly, so take a look at the distribution comparison diagram:

Is it more organized? Let's look at another case:

The problem is still scattered, the result of color block optimization:

At the same time, I also reduced the number in the original manuscript: 1, 2, 2, 3. Because they are only embellishment and embellishment, and have no practical significance. In the same way, there is this case:

Simple and tidy up:

It's not complicated, is it? Let's take a look at the comparison:

Just a very simple operation, you can make a qualified work in a short time, this is the color block Dafa!

5. Use cropping highlight to enlarge important areas in addition to the color block method, there is another technique that is used very frequently: picture cropping

Look at a case study:

In academic PPT, you often see such long screenshots. If you post them directly, the vertical length is so long that you can't see the words clearly even if they are full. This is tantamount to making an invalid PPT page.

What should I do with it? In fact, you can use cropping to split the picture:

If you want to optimize further, you can also display the title of each table separately:

In another case, sometimes we need to show the local characteristics of the object, such as the red circle below:

However, because the area of the red circle is too small, you can cut out and enlarge the important areas with the help of cropping:

It really works all the time.

4 cases take you to the secret behind PPT image clipping

6. Extract the main points and match the icon. I'm sure you've seen this kind of defense PPT:

The screen is full of text, which simply cannot raise the reply teacher's desire to read. In fact, we can segment it logically and add icon decoration:

The structure of the improved version is clearer.

The above are 6 practical design tips, summed up:

Did you learn it?

Three taboos. Finally, I would like to give you three more suggestions. Please do not step on these three traps:

1. The style should not be too flashy

The academic style should have an academic appearance. If you do it too grandiose and good-looking, it will only be counterproductive.

two。 There should not be too much animation.

Extra animation can distract and procrastinate.

3. The text should not be too long

The undecorated text on the screen will make people lose interest in reading.

The above is the whole content of this sharing, mainly introduces 2 key points, 6 skills and 3 taboos in the production of academic PPT. I hope it will be helpful to you.
