Prezi stands out as a great tool full of functions; however, if the user is unable to follow the structure and the guidelines, everything can go very wrong. This is why it is said that such users should be SHOT. This sounds very harsh, but it does not mean shooting in its literary form, "shot" as used in this case is an acronym for Stopped, Helped or Trained. This is what the Prezi for beginners is all about. Without this guide, most users who adopt it forget two important pillars of an effective presentation; message and structure.
The first timers get excited when they see a big and wonderful canvas that allows them to try everything. They can go up and down, left and right, and even in and out. However, if you try everything at once, you are likely to end up with the presentation that is swinging in and out, left and right, and with animations that are random and out of place. Imagine the situation where the picture is rotating at 37 degrees. Yes, this can be the case, and at this point, it is only appropriate that you are SHOT.
To start, the user should have a completely different mindset and approach. One must forget the Power Point and its slides. Here, everything is different, there is a room for creativity and innovation, and in order to realize its full potential, you have to approach it with a different philosophy. Unlike in the case of PowerPoint where you are limited with rectangles, you have the room to be imaginative and no need to be conserved.
To start with, the mindset as well as approach should be completely different from that of the PowerPoint. PowerPoint has limiting features such as the boring triangles and limited room for innovation. The Prezi offers limitless opportunities for innovation that requires a completely philosophical approach to be successful.
The professionals advise that it is best to use the SWF files as this produces professional looking and more presentable Prezi that have great zooming effects. It also gives you give a bigger freedom in zooming in and out. Using the low resolution pictures results to horrible images on zooming and should therefore be avoided.
It is necessary to understand what really constitutes a good Prezi. The answer is simple; the presentation is only fantastic if it explains a given topic in a simple and clear manner so that it is hard to forget. This sounds simple, but unless you are able to focus on the logic structure of the presentation, you will not be able to achieve it.
In addition to a logic structure, restrict the symbols used to the well-known ones. The element connections should be transparent. In simple terms, it is all about striking a balance between complexity and simplicity. Lastly, images should be preferred over words.
The members of the audience who are sensitive should be considered and fast moving or fast rotating objects should be avoided. This means that as the beginner, you learn how to make proper transitions between different slides in a manner that is gentle and calm.
