Creating an animated interactive presentation

The 21st century is a century of rapid development of technologies, especially information technology, and information acts as a commodity. This is why today one of the key skills of a modern person is to deliver information with clarity and persuasively. One of the most effective and popular ways to achieve this is through presentations.

We live in a time of high screen competition, most people are visuals. The audience needs to see in order to better perceive and remember the necessary information. A properly designed presentation is an effective tool for demonstrating your ideas or selling a product or service. Hundreds of thousands of presentations are viewed daily at various, meetings, speeches, lessons and in the process of explaining new material. They are made by managers, analysts, marketers, sales professionals and many other specialists.

Creating presentations is a painstaking and time-consuming job. It is not enough just to place the text on the slide. It needs to be corrected, structured and accentuated. You need to highlight key information, as well as add appropriate pictures for a better perception of information. And all this is due to the use of visualization tools.

Canva is one of the most popular graphic editors worldwide. Due to its simplicity, the platform allows people who do not have professional design skills or work with special software to create logos, banners, graphics for social media and presentations based on ready-made templates.

Canva is currently used by more than 30 million people in 190 countries around the world. Users of the platform create 80 designs every second, and since the launch of the platform, more than 3 billion projects have been launched. Canva also offers various tools for teamwork: real-time interaction and even brainstorming.

Another popular platform for creating interactive multimedia projects with a nonlinear structure is Prezi. The service offers a large number of possibilities for visualizing slides, through the use of video materials, graphics and other elements.

Operation of the web service Prezi.com is based on the technology of scaling (approximation and distance of objects). The main feature of the service is a beautiful transition between the elements of the common canvas. Unlike the "classic" presentation divided into slides made in Microsoft PowerPoint, in Prezi the main effects are not associated with the transition from slide to slide, but with the increase of individual parts of the same slide.

The skill of creating high-quality slides can be obtained quickly enough, it does not require many years of study.
