PRESENTERS CAN LEARN FROM

WITH THE EXCITING RE-RELEASE OF JURASSIC PARK IN 3D

WE THOUGHT WE WOULD TAKE THE OPPORTUNITY

TO CREATE SOME FUN CONTENT

RETRACING THE LESSONS LEARNT FROM JURASSIC PARK

TO THE PROBLEMS THAT DESIGNERS AND

PRESENTERS OFTEN HAVE TO FACE.

LESSON #1 JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN

DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD.

MALCOLM TELLS HAMMOND

THAT HIS SCIENTISTS TOOK THINGS TOO FAR.

KEEP ANIMATIONS SIMPLE.

JUST BECAUSE YOU CAN USE A PINWHEEL ROTATION

DOESN’T MEAN YOU SHOULD!

WHEN DESIGNING

FADE, FLY IN AND WIPE ARE SUBTLE BUT EFFECTIVE ANIMATIONS.

LESSON #2ACCEPTING WHAT YOU CAN CONTROL

AND WHAT YOU CAN’T.

ELLIE TELLS HAMMOND

THAT HE NEVER HAD CONTROL.

YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE ANY CONTROL

OVER THE OVERALL LOOK, IF YOU’RE FOLLOWING A SPEC SHEET.

INSTEAD, CHANNEL YOUR CREATIVITY TOWARDS OTHER ELEMENTS

SUCH AS IN-SLIDE ILLUSTRATIONS.

WHEN DESIGNING

LESSON #3THE FOUNDATIONS OF CHANGE & GROWTH

RELY ON AGE-OLD KNOWLEDGE.

THE BEGINNINGS OF HAMMOND’S THEME PARK

LIE WITH THE ORIGINAL DINOSAUR EXPERTS.

GET INSPIRED BY EXISTING AND AWARD WINNING DESIGNS.

THIS WILL HELP ACCELERATE YOUR PRODUCTION

AND INSURE YOU ARE BUILDING AN EYE CATCHING PRESENTATION.

WHEN DESIGNING

LESSON #4BE OPEN TO CHANGE.

ALAN LEARNT

THAT KIDS AREN'T SO BAD.

BE WILLING TO CHANGE YOUR STYLE.

DON’T KEEP DOING THE SAME THING. LOOK INTO NEW DESIGN TRENDS.

SEEK INSPIRATION ONLINE.

WHEN DESIGNING

LESSON #5KEEP THAT WHICH YOU LOVE NEAR.

EXHAUSTED AFTER THEIR TERRIFYING JOURNEY,

ELLIE AND ALAN REUNITE WITH A LONG EMBRACE.

IF YOU’RE IN A HURRY

THERE’S NOTHING WRONG WITH RE-USING CHERISHED DESIGN ELEMENTS;

FONTS, LAYOUTS, COLOURS.

WHEN DESIGNING

LESSON

WHERE THERE’S A WILL, THERE’S A WAY.

#6

ALAN AND THE CHILDREN DISCOVER

THAT THE DINOSAURS “FOUND A WAY” TO BREED,

DESPITE THE ATTEMPTS OF THE SCIENTISTS TO PREVENT IT.

POWERPOINT SOMETIMES LACKS FLEXIBILITY

TRY COMBINING DIFFERENT TOOLS (E.G. ANIMATIONS)

TO REACH A SOLUTION TO YOUR PROBLEM.

WHEN DESIGNING

LESSON

INSTEAD OF RUNNING FROM YOUR FEARS

YOU SHOULD CONFRONT THEM!

#7

LEXI IS FRIGHTENED AT FIRST BY THE BRACHIOSAUR

AFTER HER ENCOUNTER WITH THE T-REX,

BUT SOON LEARNS IT’S A GENTLE GIANT.

ALWAYS STAY CALM

THE AUDIENCE IS NOT GOING TO EAT YOU ALIVE,

BUT YOU DO HAVE TO SHOW CONFIDENCE.

WHEN PRESENTING

LESSON #8BRAWNS CAN WIN OVER BRAINS.

THE BRAWNY T-REX CHAMPIONS

THE BRAINY PHILOSO-RAPTORS.

SOMEONE IN THE AUDIENCE

WILL CHALLENGE WHAT YOU’RE SAYING.

ONLY INCLUDING ROCK-SOLID DATA THAT YOU CAN BACK UP. MAKE YOUR CONTENT BULLETPROOF BY

WHEN PRESENTING

LESSON #9TIMING IS KEY.

WITH PERFECT TIMING, THE T-REX SAVES

ALAN, ELLIE, AND THE KIDS IN THIS DRAMATIC END SCENE.

CREATE A STORY YOUR AUDIENCE WILL FOLLOW.

USE AN INTRODUCTION AND DEVELOP THE CONTENT WITH A PURPOSEFUL DIRECTION.

BE SURE TO PRACTICE YOUR PRESENTATION PACING!

WHEN PRESENTING

LESSON

DON’T LET SUCCESS GO TO YOUR HEAD.

#10

HAMMOND RELISHES IN THE SHOCK

INDUCED ON ALAN AND ELLIE, AS THEY WITNESS

THE BLOODTHIRSTY FEEDING OF THE RAPTORS.

SHOW SOME CONFIDENCE.

BUT DON’T BE ARROGANT, OR YOUR AUDIENCE WON’T RELATE.

A GOOD PRESENTER BALANCES CONFIDENCE WITH EMPATHY.

WHEN PRESENTING

LESSON #11 DON’T HIDE FROM YOUR WEAKNESSES.

ALAN IS TRYING HIS BEST TO AVOID

BEING SEATED WITH THE CHILDREN.

DON’T HIDE BEHIND YOUR WEAKNESSES.

TRY SHARING THEM WITH THE AUDIENCE IN A HUMOURISTIC WAY.

IT WILL QUICKLY HELP CREATE A CONNECTION WITH THEM.

WHEN PRESENTING

LESSON #12 DON’T GET YOUR HOPES UP.

ALAN, ELLIE, AND MALCOLM ARE DISAPPOINTED WITH THE LACK

OF DINOSAURS ON THEIR TOUR.

DON’T GET YOUR HOPES UP TOO HIGH

BECAUSE YOU WON’T NECESSARILY GET A STANDING OVATION. DON’T FORGET

THAT YOUR PRESENTATION IS ONLY THE FIRST STEP. BE SURE TO FOLLOW UP

WITH A QUESTION PERIOD AND HAVE A CALL TO ACTION.

WHEN PRESENTING

MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU IN THE FIGHT AGAINS

DEATH BY POWERPOINT
