Avoid using Comic Sans. That looks informal and childish.

Better than everyone in any of my classes. Not even being sarcastic.

I think that some of your text could be justified or centred. Other than that it looks pretty good. Oh, and I would change the font also.

this really wouldn't fly anywhere except a school

 

WAY too much text

 

Paragraphs?

 

Pictures are all too small, meaningless, not filling a background or a mosaic. Too many pictures in some, too little in some.

One quick thing, i may be wrong but Activision just publishes Call of Duty infinty ward, treyarch, and newly added slegdehammer games mainly create the games if i am not mistaken

 

EDIT: i checked your edits and you just put infinity ward, i just think that it is right to give credit where credit is due and if you want a way to word it let me know

like instead of just infinity ward you would put all three or as of now just add in treyarch and you would be fine because technically sledgehammer games has not made a call if duty yet by themselves

Slide 2, you need to have this in bullet points.

The powerpoint should NOT speak for you. It should only compliment what you are saying. Check out Apple or Nvidia keynotes for example.

Remove background of graph, and make it clean looking. Minimilistic if your friend.

Don't put full sentences

At slide 8, don't streach and scale images. You can also remove the background. Powerpoint has a tool for this. This makes it look like you just learned how to use powerpoint.

Slide 9. company name and logo showing the name.. repetitive.

Also, be sure to use high quality images. Work with PNG's not JPEG. Pixelation due to image compression from jpeg will show big time on the projector (unless jpeg image is at max quality)

this guy knows what's up

 

 

Here's an idea of what you should kind of try for:

The one on the top was from  HS and around 10 minutes.

The one on the bottom was 20 minutes and 5 primary slides with a conclusion and open final slide. 

 

Even the first one is really sloppy, and the second has a few small issues, but most won't notice. (only major thing is the bushido slide was butchered because of the graphic size, but it was fixed before presenting, obv)

The powerpoint is a supplement. Powerpoint presentation is a misnomer, it's a "presentation with a powerpoint"

 

You should be able to present without a Powerpoint presentation at all. If you can't do your presentation without acknowledging it, then you're not doing it right. 

Powerpoint should never distract, the powerpoint is there for reference. The focus is on YOU, not the powerpoint. 

 

They can glance at pictures, but they should not be saturating or overly stimulating. They shouldn't have to read, they should only need to look. The goal is for them to only glace at it, the rest is all you.

A few things you can improve on. As others have said, minimalist is key, but that doesn't stop you tweaking the things that aren't still there.

Perhaps you could add a single colour background, relevant to the theme of your PowerPoint? A light blue or a textured background would make it look more professional than plain white.

Consider playing around with slide composition a bit more. The arrangement of the slide is important in terms of where the audience will look first.

Make the font size and type consistent throughout the entire PowerPoint. Titles need to be in the same style as well.

I would suggest adding bullets to the game devs on slide 8 and leaving it at that. You can do the rest of the talking

Consider getting rid of the names of the three companies in slide 9 and just leaving the logos.

It would be nicer to include higher res images of the game on slide 4. Use Google images and select search tools > size > large. And another tip: hold shift while resizing an image and it will maintain its aspect ratio

Have a slide at the end allowing the audience to ask questions about anything you've said. BE PREPARED TO ANSWER ANYTHING!

Other than that it seems like very interesting content! I wish you luck with your furture career I myself am hoping to study either aerodynamics or computer games programming at university
