100 Creative Presentation Ideas

Creative Presentation Ideas – It’s Showtime!

Only 3 of the 100 are listed below creative presentation ideas you can use to make your Presentation unforgettable. You can use these creative presentation ideas when speaking with potential investors, at management forums, conferences, or with your colleagues, employees, or any other presentation you have to make.

Each creative idea is described in the following format:

• Basic description of the creative presentation idea
• So that? main benefits of the idea, or how it can be used
• Variations on the creative idea.: how you can adapt the idea to different environments, objectives and audiences
• Comments: things you need to pay attention to when using the creative idea

Well, here comes the first creative presentation idea:

Creative Presentation Idea #1:

Description: Do No use titles on your slides

So that?

1. Tell viewers that you intentionally left out the presentation titles to see if you could get your main points across clearly.
2. When you use the presentation as a learning aid in a workshop, if your audience is to fill in the headings, they will need to think about what you are teaching and actively participate in the discussion.

variations:

1. Leave titles for only a few of the slides, perhaps the ones that will be used for a review of the presentation so far, or to spark a discussion on a controversial topic.
2. Write only half of the title and ask your audience to complete it.

Comments:

• You can use a “complete” print version of the presentation for yourself, so you can see the headings you intended to use

The creative ideas I suggest are of different types and levels. Some are crazy than others. You should choose the one that best suits your presentation needs. Do you want to make a real bold statement? Here’s a more outrageous idea:

Creative presentation idea #75:

Description: Present the presentation blindfolded!

So that?

1. You could definitely demonstrate your knowledge of the subject and a good memory skill as well as self-confidence by using this idea.
2. Use it to add some humor to your presentation: after putting on the blindfold, intentionally make some funny mistakes when referring to the slides, and only then show them that you know what you’re talking about…

variations:

1. Only wear the blindfold for a short part of the performance, when you want dramatic effect.
2. Provide participants with blindfolds so their sense of hearing is sharpened and they can try their memory after a few slides!

Comments:

• Be careful not to offend people with disabilities (eg blind people, etc.). Use this technique when you are sure you can do it with tact and good taste.

As you may have already noticed, these creative presentation ideas aren’t based on incredible PowerPoint knowledge or unreasonable production costs. In fact, for some of the ideas you don’t even have to use Power Point! Here’s one:

Creative Presentation Idea #31:

Description: Have a painter/caricaturist assistant –

draw pictures/cartoons on a flipchart while explaining

So that?

1. This would make your presentation “live” on the fly. Instead of using slides, sketches would visually convey the main points you’re trying to get across. For example, when talking about the difficult task ahead, a simple drawing of mountaineers climbing a steep mountain would etch that image in the minds of the viewers.
2. A cartoonist could add a touch of humor to your presentation with images and playful tips.

variations:

1. If you have the talent, you could draw the sketches yourself as you talk.
2. If there is an electronic drawing pad, you can use it and display drawings on a screen as they are drawn.
3. Alternatively, ask some of the participants to help you and draw these images on the flipchart as you speak.
4. You could prepare and give the participants a comic with the important things they talked about.

Comments:

• Make sure there are enough flipchart pages that you can use and that everyone can see them well.
• Rehearse the presentation with the painter and make a list of the main topics you are going to talk about so that he has time to think about how to make meaningful and relevant drawings.
• Here are some tips on where to find the person to draw for you: Look for high school or college art students who want to practice and show off their talent for a small fee or for free; ask about other employees who have that talent and are willing to help. Of course, if the presentation is worth the investment, you can always hire a professional cartoonist.
