Presentation Skills based on Slide Design for non-designers

1. MAKING AN IMPRESSION
Good presentations that save your grade
And your future job

2. MORE THAN WORDS

We live in an audio and visual world of
information that is just a click away.

5. Don't lose a great idea

Be concise.

Repeat yourself.

Use large font.

Use cool pictures.

Use bright colors.

Be loud.

Be prepared for the worst.

6. There's no subject you don't have permission to write about. Students
often avoid subjects close to their heart—skateboarding, cheerleading,
rock music, cars—because they assume that their teachers will regard
those topics as "stupid." No area of life is stupid to someone who takes it
seriously. If you follow your affections you will write well and will engage
your readers. I've read elegant books on fishing and poker, billiards and
rodeos, mountain climbing and giant sea turtles and many other subjects I
didn't think I was interested in. Write about your hobbies: cooking,
gardening, photography, knitting, antiques, jogging, sailing, scuba diving,
tropical birds, tropical fish. Write about your work: teaching, nursing,
running a business, running a store. Write about a field you enjoyed in
college and always meant to get back to: history, biography, art,
archeology. No subject is too specialized or too quirky if you make an
honest connection with it when you write about it.
No one wants to see this much text onscreen.

7. Use large font with the good stuff.
GO BIG
OR
GO HOME

8. Repeat Key Terms

sticking to core memory.

9. REPEAT KEY TERMS


A white background is so boring it isn't in
Impress' color pallette.

Color-challenged? Google it, there are lots of
resources to help you.

11. The Need To Know Basis

Give them the stuff they really need to know.

Or let a picture paint a thousand words.

12. Be the Loudest Voice in the Room

13. Speak Up!

Hook your audience in.

middle, and end. (just remember the burger)

Technology will be the first to fail.
