  2. Metapresentation • Step-by-step presentation creation • Of this presentation • In the first part Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  3. Presentation Outline • Presentation outline • Visual aspects • Content • Paper presentations Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  4. Font • Adequate font size (roughly 28-32) • Too small: difficult to read, distracting • Sans-serif fonts • Serifs help in block text • Distract in short text • “Modest” fonts • Extravagancies illegible or unreadable • Consistency Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  14. Animation • Animation types • Slide transition • Intra-slide animation Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  15. Slide Transition • All slides • Matter of taste • Consistency • Subtle effects better • Some slides • Logical splitter • Outline points • Examples Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  16. Intra-slide Animation • Strong focus attractor • Striking point • Don’t waste it • Hinders offline use • Slide browsing • Printing • PDF export Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  17. Creating Presentations • Slide title helps focus • Narrows down topic • Prevents repetition • Title change ~ logical division • Title capitalization (per CMS): • First and last word • Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, subord. conj. • Articles, coord. conj., prepositions • Infinitive “to” Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  18. Slide Titles • Helps focus • Narrows down topic • Prevents repetition • Title change ~ logical division • Capitalization (per CMS): • First and last word • Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, subord. conj. • Articles, coord. conj., prepositions • Infinitive “to” Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  19. Slide Titles (cont.) • Multi-slide topic • Same line of thought: use e.g. “(cont.)” • Different aspects: use separate titles • Keep it short • Headline, not information • Can correspond to outline • Not necessary Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  20. Presentation Outline • Presentation outline • Visual aspects • Content • Paper presentations Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  21. Text Coverage • Keep it brief • Try to keep your points brief and as points, i.e. do not use overlong phrases and always think twice about including a full sentence if a verbless statement will do; otherwise, the donkey points of your message might become obscured by a wall of text no-one will read. • Reading distracts from listening • Where’s the donkey? ;-) Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  22. Text Structure • Indented lists are good • Topic, subtopic • Place for notes • Class, examples • Timeline • Keep it vertical • Otherwise, it becomes silly • Like this • Self-contained slides • Don’t break lower-level lists Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  23. Text Structure (cont.) • Difficult to follow otherwise Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  24. Slide – Talk Interaction • Follow slide structure • Don’t jump back and forth • List important points • Leave details to the talk • Don’t read the slide • The talk is primary • Talk slowly and clearly • Never save time by talking faster Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  25. Presentation Outline • Presentation outline • Visual aspects • Content • Paper presentations Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  26. Paper Presentation • 15-25 minutes • Including discussion • Goals • Present novel ideas • Get them to read the paper • Provide basic understanding • Details are in the paper Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  27. Structure • Outline • Introduction to problem • Related work • Your contribution • Results • Summary • Future work • Discussion Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  28. Preface • Introduction to problem • Depth ~ venue • General: semi-informed audience • Your field, not your topic • Related work • Most important similar & different approaches • No method details necessary • Usually 1-2 slides Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  29. Your Contribution • Underline conceptual ideas • Underline your improvements • Avoid details • Refer to the paper • Formulae • Only if vital • Explain or cull Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  30. Conclusion • Results • Show a video, if possible • Mind codecs, mind multi-monitors • Test in advance • Show live demo, if possible • Summary • Re-state the problem • List your delta • Future work (optional) Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK

  31. Summary • Think of the audience • Legibility, readability • Ease of future reference • Speak clearly • Paper presentation • Ideas, not details • For semi-specialists • Stress your contribution Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK
