A PechaKucha presentation is a unique presentation format that was developed in Tokyo in 2003 as a way for creative professionals to share their work in a concise and fast-paced manner. The name “PechaKucha” comes from the Japanese term for the sound of “chitchat”. A typical PechaKucha presentation follows a 20×20 format, which means it includes 20 slides that are shown for 20 seconds each, making each presentation precisely 6 minutes and 40 seconds long.
As an example, let’s consider a PechaKucha presentation on “The Art of Minimalist Design.” The presenter might begin by introducing the concept of minimalist design and why it’s significant (Slides 1-2). They could then dive into the core principles of minimalist design, such as simplicity, functionality, and subtraction (Slides 3-7). The presenter might then share some well-known examples of minimalist design in various fields, like architecture, graphic design, and product design (Slides 8-16). Towards the end, they could discuss the benefits and challenges of minimalist design (Slides 17-18), and finally, conclude by highlighting the future trends in minimalist design (Slides 19-20).
Each slide would contain minimal text, relying more on high-quality images, infographics, or short videos to convey the message. The presenter would narrate each slide, speaking for exactly 20 seconds before the slide automatically transitions to the next one. This format encourages presenters to be concise, engaging, and well-prepared, as there is no option to extend the time for each slide.
