5. A PowerPoint presentation is
a presentation created using
Microsoft PowerPoint software.
The presentation is a
collection of individual slides
that contain information on a
topic.
PowerPoint presentations are
commonly used in business
meetings and for training and
educational purposes.
13. Dos
Use at least an 18-point font
Use different size fonts for main points and secondary
points
◦36-point for title part , 28-point for the main point and
24-point for the rest of the part
Use standard fonts like:
◦ Times New Roman
◦ Arial
Use italics only for emphasis
14. Don’ts
Do not use a small font (your audience won’t be able to read what you have written )
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY.
IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ TOO
Don’t use a complicated font (hard to read as well)
15.
16. Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with
the background
(Blue font in white
background)
Use colour to
emphasize a point
◦ But only use this occasionally
17. Do not use a font colour that does not
contrast with the background colour (hard to
read)
Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary and sometimes is annoying
21. Images create immediate reactions while words take
much longer.
Pictures help you focus and help the audiences
remember things.
Images help you convey the emotion along with the
illustration of the points
29. It is the state, condition,
manner, or style in which a
person or object appears;
outward look or aspect OR
The way you dress, fix
your hair, tells a lot about
yourself and the way you
want others to think about
you.
30. First Impressions
Facial Expressions
Personal Image
Clothes and Grooming
Body Language
31. First impressions of a
speaker are important. The
audience may judge the
person on their appearance
and not really listen to
what is being said.
Considering the effect that
dress and posture have on
the response to a speech is
important for public
speaking.
32. Little can be done to alter
your face but a lot can be
done about the expression
that is on it! However the
day started and whatever
minor crisis has occurred
along the way, people have
not come to see you with a
dark expression on your
face.
33. The reflection that stares
back at you from a mirror
is not necessarily a true
likeness of the face known
to family, friends and
colleagues, because they
will see you off-guard, in
repose, concentrating on a
task or listening to them.
34. Nobody expects you to be
packaged into something
you are not, but your
appearance is a reflection
of your own self-esteem
and you should aim to
present yourself to your
best possible advantage.
35. The way you sit, stand, your
gestures and mannerisms
and your facial expressions
will say far more about you
and how you are feeling at
any given time than the
words you are using. When
individuals are nervous or
uneasy, their behavioral 'bad
habits' become more
pronounced.
