When we’re trying to get ideas across to the audience, it’s natural to give a presentation using one of the more popular presentation programs available such as Microsoft Powerpoint.
Regardless of the software you choose to use, most of them use a layout similar to that of Powerpoint. However, you may want to get rid of this. If you are looking for a more expressive, artistic software, you should probably give Prezi a try.
Prezi is a presentation web app that offers great visuals.

The templates really look great so instead of creating a prezi from scratch, we’ll use House sample to create our template.
A prezi is made up of a set of frames. In regular presentation software, these are called slides. The first frame usually provides an overview of the presentation and will act as a title page.

Adding text is pretty standard. You will have access to a wide variety of fonts and colors. Choose the right combination based on the look you are aiming for.

When editing the path, you can also click on the stars associated with the frame number to give the frame animation effects such as fading.
