Have you used any cool presentation software before?

Hi all, hope you had a great free week!

First of all, I would like to share my work experience in preparing my company's presentation slides. Being a property management agency, we are responsible to manage our customers' property properly, so lots of rules and policies are set and will be presented to tenants who rent the property. Usually, documents like rules and regulations as well as rent arrears policy will be filed in a booklet and our company manager will have to read through all the documents in front of the tenants to make sure our tenants have a clear understanding of their responsibilities, however, this has made tenants feel dull and boring. Hence, I have suggested my MD, Tris to present the documents in an interesting way by using presentation software to come out with animated  presentation slides. Tris has agreed the idea and gave me a deadline of this task in 5 working-days.

There are few presentation software nowadays, for example:

Emaze http://www.emaze.com/

Established in 2009, an online presentation platform that offers a wide range of templates which include video backgrounds as well as 3D animations.

Prezi http://prezi.com/

Established in 2009, a popular presentation software and also a storytelling tool that allows presenter to zoom in and zoom out the slides while presenting their ideas. This presentation software is widely used by school in e-learning.

Powtoon www.powtoon.com

Established in 2012, an online software that allows people to create animated videos and presentations. Moreover, it can be downloaded as an MP4 file or exported to YouTube.

For me, I prefer to use Prezi because its zooming feature makes it more catchy and amazing during presentation, which will easily catch attention from the audiences. Besides, no one would like to read long paragraph from the slide, so it is better to have short and less wording within slides, additional picture will be a bonus too. However, there is one thing we have to be aware of  when looking for picture from Google, the picture may be subjected to copyright. My Managing Director claimed that copyright issue is a serious concern that every company needs to avoid. After I have done the presentation slides within the deadline, I was told to check the spelling and grammar properly as there was some typing error within my slides. I felt bad because I didn't check it well and did this minor mistake that everyone shouldn't have. Besides the importance of completing task within deadline, Tris has taught me that rechecking and reediting are really important when doing a task as this will make the work looks nicer and perfect. I am really appreciated from being taught and has learnt a lot from my MD, Tris.  Overall, Tris felt satisfy on my work and effort.

On the other hand, I was assigned to collect relevant information about major media outlets in Perth that are suitable for Homes Property Management to do advertising.  

This is one of the examples:

I felt confident to complete this analysis as I have done 'Target Media' in one of my assignments -Media Strategy,  in Media Relations 250. I felt happy that I could apply my knowledge in the real-life company.

More to come next week.
