Shulou(Shulou.com)11/24 Report--

First of all, let's review the courseware PPT that we grew up with.

The obsolete template of the graphic source network, the hot-eyed color matching, and the focus everywhere seem to have become the standard configuration of courseware PPT. I think all of you have more or less come into contact with the films in the above cases when you were students.

Before I begin, I would like to ask you a question: what do you think is the reason why the courseware PPT is always not beautiful enough?

In fact, in my opinion, in addition to the lack of basic aesthetic knowledge, it is more important that teachers usually prepare lessons, a courseware is often dozens of hundreds of pages, there is not a lot of time to beautify PPT.

Therefore, I think the key to making a good courseware PPT is to be efficient!

So today we will talk about how to use the most efficient way to complete a courseware class PPT beautification!

The following is an electrotechnical courseware of science and engineering.

I selected 4 pages (complex flowchart, full-text page, timeline page, original understanding page):

The original ratio is 4:3, and we continue this size.

First determine the color matching, font, and inner page template style:

Color matching: a variety of blue + yellow embellishment

Font: Alibaba HP + Arial

Next, let's beautify 01 page by page. Complex flow chart

This is a common process diagram page, objectively speaking, the content is not very much, but it seems very laborious, the main problems are as follows:

1. Too many colors

two。 There are too many styles of explanation.

3. The elements are scattered and not aligned

Therefore, what we need to do is to lighten the visual burden. Since it is a flowchart, the first step is to extract the process trunk:

An important step in this step is to align the elements at the same level in the same style and make them visually clearer.

Next, we need to mark the explanatory text, and the manuscript classifies the sub-items with dotted frames:

However, it is precisely because the added dotted frame overlaps with the original process arrows, resulting in visual confusion. How to deal with it?

In fact, the core is to reduce the interference of additional elements to the backbone process, here I think we can introduce the legend:

Legend (that is, divided by color blocks, and marked with the meaning of different color blocks in the upper right corner), can effectively reduce unnecessary lines, highlight the backbone of the process, is not a lot clearer.

02. Full-text page

Full-text pages often appear in our field of vision, and the full screen of text looks very crowded and boring. How to optimize without adding illustrations and without deleting text?

In fact, it is also very simple to improve the space utilization of the screen to make the whole look more uniform.

According to the analysis of the manuscript, due to the different length of the copy, there will be uneven vacancies at the end:

These vacancies add to the already inadequate picture. At this time, the space can be redivided according to the length of the copy:

The effect of adding text is as follows:

Does it look more compact and plump? And due to the introduction of color blocks, enhance the contrast, the visual effect is better.

03. Timeline page

This is a typical timeline page, and the current problem is that space is underutilized and does not reflect the feeling of the timeline.

With regard to the timeline, we usually draw a horizontal line and arrange the events in turn:

However, because there are too many things to do at present, one axis can no longer be arranged, what should we do? I think you've already guessed to bend the timeline once:

Is it not bad? it not only vividly embodies the concept of timeline, but also improves the utilization rate of space. It also highlights the three characteristics of the center.

About the drawing of the timeline, it is actually very simple, it is made up of two rectangles and an arrow:

And in order to make the arrowhead more like a road, I added a dotted line in the middle.

04. Original understanding analysis page

There is no need for me to say on this page, everyone can see the problem. It's just one word: chaos.

Because there are many and miscellaneous elements, I don't know where to start. At this point, we need to provide readers with a clear reading order. I have written a visually guided article before, which I sincerely recommend to you:

Return to this page, how to sort out a clear reading line? The easiest way is to use a modular design to put together elements that describe similar information, like this:

There are two schematic diagrams at the top and the formula and the corresponding interpretation at the bottom. Does this look much clearer? This is the meaning of visual guidance.

Finally, let's take a look at the comparison of the effects before and after the revision:

Manuscript

After beautification, the previously cluttered pages become more orderly, and the operating techniques used are very simple. To sum up, there are only three points:

1. Element color matching is less, only emphasis color is given to key information.

two。 Ensure that the elements are aligned and keep a certain spacing

3. The content is divided into different levels, and the style of elements at the same level is as uniform as possible.

Some people may say that PPT is not important as long as the teacher gives a good lecture. But in my opinion, this view is a little one-sided. If we can pass on the basic aesthetic consciousness to every student while giving a good course, we may be able to cultivate a relatively good aesthetic sense for the students.

When students graduate from work, they will not be rejected by the boss because of the poor performance of PPT. After all, in this day and age, as a universal communication tool, PPT is still very important.

The above is the whole content of this article, thank you for reading here, I hope it can be helpful to you.
