Zeroing on Presentation

With presentation day nearing, the complex theoretical views involved in reengineering the existing PowerPoint remain a cause for absorption. However, after critical thoughts and contemplation of the approach that will be undertaken, there are two standpoints that will play a crucial part in the reengineering reading review process;

As a document designer, one must be able to combine the elements of text and image in a smooth blend in order to create a coherent meaning. As such, the PowerPoint in play will feature visual images as well as verbal texts that will interpret the reading review smoothly for readers. This is justified by Schriver (1997, pp.362) as she noted that document designers are expected to integrate the visual and verbal as well as cross the disciplinary gulch between writing and design.

On the other hand, the PowerPoint presentation has to conform and adhere to the expectations of readers. For example, if a powerpoint is targeted to students, appropriate language and writing style has to be used. As noted by Putnis and Petelin (1996, pp.254), document designers should always consider the reader’s expectations of a document in a specified genre. Therefore, tactfulness and conformity of style is vital in the presentation for target audience comprehension.

Given such adaptations, it will be an uphill task in reengineering the reading review. However, it will be remain an exciting process that will stand to nourish one's creative knowledge.
