For this challenge, we have an existing PowerPoint presentation, but we clearly see that PowerPoint slides are not the best way to convey all the information that we would like to see. We would like you to improve our presentation by taking the existing material and creatively redesigning how it is presented. Specifically, how it could be presented using the unique features and techniques found in Prezi presentations.
We're looking for your creativity here but also your clarity in displaying how your design would be implemented with Prezi.
Prezi provides the opportunity for a significantly more dynamic, more engaging method to convey your information to your audience. If you haven't explored Prezi yet, seriously take a look. Even if you don't participate in this challenge, you'll be extremely happy to have played with Prezi :)

- For effective designing for prezi presentation, we recommend you to register with prezi and see how prezi works by using one of their available templates..
Example for Sequence of Designs/Images:
To give you an example of sequence of design/images, assume we have a world image and we need to show a person in england, in order to show this idea using the features of prezi we show the transition in prezi as a sequence of images as:
- Initially show the image of the world map (globe)
- On Click: We zoom into world until we reach england
- On Click: Further zoom in enland to see image of a person.
In the above example, you might need to design a world image, then a england map and then image of a person. (Zooming effects are created by prezi)
So, above is just an example of our expectations - open up, be creative, figure out, plan, sequence out, write out, "create"!!
