Week 5




Our lecturer has taught us new input this week. This time, it was related to presentations. On how to create a good presentation using the CASPER model. CASPER in here is not the friendly ghost but it's an abbreviation from the words:
C-   Contrast
A- Alignment
S- Simplicity
P- Proximity
E- Emphasis
R- Repetition

In order to create an effective presentation, we need to use not more than 3 colors in the fonts and presentation. We must use colors which contrast with one another such as Black-White or Blue-Yellow.
In the alignment, If text are at the left, it's just the points. But if you want to emphasize on certain text, put it in the middle. And color it. Do not put more than 20 words in the slide. If not, people would turn out reading the slide instead of focusing your presentation. You can also put images, but not too many. In simplicity, do not pack your slide with words and images that a person will lose focus on it. Do not put spaces too wide or scattered on your words and images. Use the same type of font and size to maintain the focus instead of putting every words and colors different in each slide. If you want to emphasize on an image, just put one and don't focus on too many. Change the font color too if you aim to emphasize on it more. And finally, if you want more emphasize on images, words, and shape, repeat it so that your audience will remember.

So that's the CASPER technique.
Do apply it so it will be more effective on your slides and presentation. Add up some spices such as confident and enthusiasm as well to bring up the spirit of the audience.
