During our business plan two presentations in my COMM 101 class, I witnessed many different styles of presentations. Some groups used a formal delivery style while others used a skit performance.  However, one similiar characterestic between all the presentations was the usage of visual presentation.

Visual presentation is imperative to deliver a clear and concise message. Not only does it give the audience time to absorb the information but it allows moving motions to attract the audiences attention. It is very similar in advertisement. Video media is now replacing the old fashion newspaper advertisement. With the growing technology such as the new Apple iPad Tablet, there are now 4 sets of screens (computer, mobile, TV and tablet) to attract a consumer’s attention. To show the impact of the internet, as much as 88% of  online newspaper viewers will purchase the good or product. As a result, even newspaper company are moving towards online features to attract the online users.

With that being said, it is no surprise how every group in COMM 101 are working very hard to design their own unique and attractive powerpoints. To further enhance its display, Prezi will probably make a presentation more dynamic.  Think that it is too much work? If so, simply adding a video clip in the beginning might just do the trick to set the theme in your presentation.
