Part 1: 7 Tips for Creating a Wonderful Graduation PowerPoint Presentation

The first thing is to create an excellent PowerPoint presentation for your graduation. There is no set pattern for such presentation creation. But you can find some regular presentation tracks. Here follows 7 simple tips.

1. Photos, photos and photos
Sort out your best school-year photos chronologically. Optimize the photos, e.g. compress file size, with an image editing tool like Adobe Photoshop. That is important before you add the photos into your graduation PowerPoint presentation.

2. Academic PowerPoint Template/Background

3. Dynamic Animations and Transitions
PowerPoint animates your graduation PowerPoint presentation with subtle effects. With proper animations and transitions, your graduation presentation is flying in the air. But do NOT apply too many motions to your slides.

4. Music, Movie Clips Makes It Better
If you prefer a complicate graduation presentation, you can rely on some nice music and movie clips. Play the music across your PowerPoint slides. Insert an old video clip to a relevant slide. To learn how to play a sound through the whole PowerPoint presentation, click here

5. Add a Watermark for Identification
Afraid of unwanted infringement? Then watermark your graduation PowerPoint presentation with your avatar or name in art font.

6. Rehearsal is Necessary
Check before you submit. This is vital to perfect your graduation presentation. Do not forget to rehearse the PowerPoint presentation before you demonstrate it toward the audience. You have time to adjust the timing, the motions, etc.

7. Put All Components in the Same Folder
Last but not least, always remember to place the inserted music, movie files and the graduation PowerPoint presentation in the same folder. Otherwise, the sound or movie you added may not work when moving to a different computer.
