Everyone knows how important it is to have a good PPT in your career.

Last year, the popularity of "The Rap of China" triggered a nationwide hip-hop craze. This phenomenal performance also allowed "niche" culture to be discussed more on the table, so many netizens began to make up "China Has Rock", "China Has Folk Songs"... Some netizens even planned a program for white-collar workers called "China Has PPT" based on their "complaints" about work, which triggered self-entertainment among working people on social media.

The picture comes from the Internet

Of course, jokes aside, in today's workplace, PPT has become a must-have skill for white-collar workers. Work reports require PPT, conference speeches require PPT, client proposals require PPT... It is no exaggeration to say that whether you can master good PPT skills directly affects your career prospects. Therefore, there is such a saying in the workplace: those who use Word are not as good as those who use Excel, and those who use Excel are not as good as those who use PPT.

But if you have ever made a PPT, you will know that it is not as simple as you think. All the exquisite PPT cases circulating on the Internet are based on exquisite composition, which organically integrates information collection, language expression and logical thinking ability. But this requires a lot of practice and learning to achieve. For ordinary white-collar workers, the time cost is very high, and it is really difficult to achieve this level.

However, the 80/20 rule tells us that not everyone needs to be a master. In daily work, using 20% ​​of our energy to make our PPT reach 80% of the effect of the masters is enough. Therefore, we only need to grasp the key points of PPT and work hard on key points such as text expression logic, templates, fonts, pictures, etc.:

Establish the PPT logical framework

When we write an article, we must first select the core argument, and then elaborate on the arguments in sections based on the argument. In fact, the first step in making a PPT is to draft the main theme, what theme of the PPT you want to make, which parts to express your main ideas through, and then determine the logical framework to express your main ideas. These can be sorted out by conceiving a rough mind map. For example, if the editor wants to make a document on "How to make a good PPT", he can use a mind map to sort out the general framework:

After determining the main theme and logical structure, it is time to refine the content of each page and impress people. It is best not to have more than three sentences on each page, because too much text on a single page can easily give people a sense of oppression. In addition, if you need to support your point of view, it is best to quote famous quotes to illustrate what you want to express.

PPT material

1. PPT template

After we have determined the framework of the PPT, we can search online for a template that matches our content framework and embed it into it. It is both beautiful and time-saving. There are many websites of this kind on the Internet, with a wealth of templates available. In addition, try to choose a PPT template with many pages and styles, with pictures, texts, comparisons, and data, so as to adapt to your presentation content as much as possible. Otherwise, when you can't find a suitable page to support the content, you have to spend time creating it yourself, which will not be effective and will waste time.

2. Images

Finding pictures is also a very important part of PPT. If you want to have both pictures and text, you need to find pictures that match your text. The three principles of matching pictures are: high-definition, no code, and no deformation. A low-resolution picture will greatly reduce the quality of your PPT. Finding the required pictures and aligning them is enough for most people to solve the problem.

But if you want to do some creative layout sometimes, you can go to some picture websites and look at the designs you like, and imitate them to improve your own PPT style.

3. Vector Graphics

Using vector graphics well can also add a lot of beauty to the page. If necessary, you can find the vector elements you need on vector graphics websites. You can also download related plug-ins and search for the vector graphics you need from its [Icon Library].

4. Fonts

Fonts can be divided into two categories: serif fonts and sans-serif fonts. Examples of serif fonts are Song, Kai, and Li (with strokes on the edges); examples of sans-serif fonts are Microsoft Yahei and Fangzheng Lanting (neat and regular). Generally speaking, serif fonts are suitable for titles, while sans-serif fonts are suitable for body text. However, sans-serif fonts can sometimes be used for titles, but serif fonts should never be used for body text, because their strokes on the edges will give people a visual sense of heaviness.

Of course, if you think the fonts that come with PPT are not beautiful enough, you can also try to upload pictures of your favorite fonts on the font website, and then download the font for your use.

By using templates, fonts, pictures, vector materials, etc., I believe it is not difficult for you to make a qualified PPT file. However, if you want to make your PPT more beautiful and perfect, you will inevitably have to insert more pictures and even make some animations, which will put a lot of pressure on your computer. If you are not careful, it will cause lag or even crash, making your hard work go to waste.

Therefore, "If you want to do your work well, you must first sharpen your tools." In order to make your achievements worthwhile, it is necessary to have a computer equipped with the 8th generation Intel® Core™ processor. It not only has a 40% performance improvement, making your PPT processing more comfortable, but also makes the notebook lighter and thinner (less than 11mm), so you don't have to carry a "small mountain" on the way to the proposal:
