Reflection of Week 4 (CASPER MODEL)

Assalammualaikum W.B.T.....

Back to our lecture, this is new topic for this week.

CASPER???First thing that came into my mind is the ghosts. I never heard that grotesque term before class started. What is CASPER stand for and what is/are the vital roles play by that word??

CASPER is actually one of the techniques suggested to be implied in creating PowerPoint slides/presentation. There's 6 principles based on the abbreviation of C.A.S.P.E.R that we can simply use in our ppt slide.
Six of them are:

C = Contrast

Contrasting in terms of  font, graphics and colours used.

In designing slides, we have to concern about the way to separate the idea and the content of a slide. Here, we can use a variety of colours or BOLD or ITALIC the word.The size of the font and so highlighter can be utilize to differentiate the main idea and the content details. This will help the reader to get the main idea easily. However, the colours and the fonts used must be readable and simple. Wise advice, use maximum 3 colours in a slide. So the reader are not doodling. 

A = Alignment

Arrangement between text and graphics.

There are different types of alignment, from left, right, center and justified. In case you like to insert a graphic on the left, you can either justify your text or format them to the left. Alignment is vital to make your slide more organized.

S = Simplicity

Design and Content of your slides.

Designing a slide needs the user to insert in only the important points, not a whole passage or text. Therefore, simplicity should guide the user to insert not too much words in a slide. Here, the use of font types, graphics and colours also must be taken into account to imply simplicity in your presentation kit.Thus, the readers will be having a better understanding in reading your slide. 

P= Proximity

Distance between text and graphics used.

There's must be a gap between the text and the graphics used to help the readers have a clear view about the explanation (text) and the graphics. Then, you must fixed the distance between the text and the related graphic.

E= Emphasis

As aforementioned, do not paste the whole passage or text in your presentation kit. Your focus only on the main events or points. In your slides, you can distinguish the title and the content by colours as well as using the bold and italic features. You can also highlight the key words for each main ideas.

R= Repetition

Repetition of font types, graphics and colours can be applied throughout your presentation IF you needed.

 

Happy Learning and Trying!!!"
