How to create better presentations with Prezi in 3 steps

Thursday, November 5th, 2009

This screencast shows the method of creating a nice prezi about baking cheesecake. No slides, no bullet point lists or boring charts here. What you see instead are zooming images, relations being built up similar to your thinking when you decide to bake that cake for a family birthday party on a Sunday afternoon. Beyond looking good and being new on the market, Prezi helps you deliver your thoughts more effectively than any other presentation tools.

Here is a shortlist on why:

A. With Prezi you can see the big picture and the details easily, so you can make sure that the content of your presentation makes sense.

B. Prezi’s spatial layout help you to convey message better, since our brain is wired to think large spaces rather then slides.

C. As a presenter, you can avoid long boring monologues (death by bullet points), and encourage audience involvement by moving across the canvas.

    If you simply follow these 3 steps we’re convinced that you’ll have stronger presentation:

    1. Start creating your Prezi by just throwing in your main ideas
    2. Develop each idea by zooming into each topic (use word, images or video you find on the net, Google searches does it all)
    3. Edit: make important topics large, create relations and remove redundant stuff

    workshop

    What did Prezi founders learn from MTV videos, or the zooming bullet perspective of television series like CSI Miami? Why are Steve Jobs or Larry Lessig so successful presenters? A year ago today founders of Prezi, Peter and Adam, asked the audience these questions at a workshop in Budapest, which was a double celebration, and launch party in one.

    Prezi Release Party Photos & Video

    Thursday, April 23rd, 2009

    Our first birthday party was a good reason for a double celebration: Prezi also released its first public offering! The party was located downtown Budapest at Tripla, our local bar where we hang out every week, and actually on the street since the place proved to be too small for all the Prezi staff, friends, fans, users, contributors and collaborators who joined us. It was huge!

    Budapest based tech and community blog Webisztán’s editor did a sweet video stream from the Going Public event. We also have some wild party photos, so check them out!
