very nice technical skills and thank you for the effort to put this on youtube.


PowerPoint is a surprising powerful tool and really versatile,
widely available to every stakeholder in a project (architects, engineers, clients, marketing, finance )
unlike INDESIGN (expensive and specialised) and
I would encourage all architects to consider the collaborative and open data (= widely accessible ) structure that powerpoint provides


A few suggestion from someone who has made and presented hundreds of Powerpoint architectural presentations.
1] use animations spareingly.... when giving a presentation.. there is nothing more annoying than having to tab thru slow animation sequences to jump to a slide of interest...
2] consider putting the base plan/s in a layout master... that way all you overlay graphics will not accidently edit the base plan.. and when you have multiple plan overlays.. your presentation filesaize will be smaller
3] avoid tex in the base images... add then in powerpoint... not in photoshop where it cant be edited quickly... if in powerpoint spelling mistakes etc can be corrected seconds before a presentation... text can be quickly traslated [eg English to Vietnamese] by almost anyone in the office, eg admin staff...
4] be careful about the visual focus... you animated highlighted zones actually hide the object of interest, not emphasise it....
5] use grids, , put them in the slide master... not the individual slides
6] learn how slide masters and layouts work... well worth the effort
7] to create comple rectangular shapes, consider just overlapping simple rectangles and use the merge tool to combine into one... keeps all linework at 90 degree angles
8] for true A3, set custum paper to 42cm x 29.7cm [don't use the A3 paper size it is wrong].. and I set a grid to 0.2cm [or sometimes custom 0.1cm]
9] bigger paper size allows you to zoom in closer for more detailed overlay work

This is very nice, but please increase the font size of the speech bubbles in the bottom right in the future so people can read it with lower resolution due to bad internet :)

of course you realise A3 is not A3 in Microsoft Products - eg Powerpoint.. examine closely your dimensions and use custom if you really want A3, A4 etc
