Presenting information on computersDifferent ways to present information
There are many different types of software and you have to decide which software is the best for you and your project. It's important to think about your audience who will see your final project.
Information needs to be presented clearly and in the most appropriate way possible. The layout, design and format must suit the purpose and audience. The following are all possible formats:
essay
leaflet
poster
website
presentation (slideshow)
In each of the above you could include one or all of these:
text
image and photo
graph or chart
audio
video
animation
The final three cannot be used in print but the use of digital leaflets, newsletters and posters is common practice.
Before you start work on your information, ask yourself the following questions:
What is its purpose?
Who is going to read or look at it, ie who is the audience?
These questions will help you to decide the best way to present the information.
