1) Use point form, 4-5 points per slide, and 1-2 slides per minute when preparing slides. Vary font sizes for headings and text.
2) Choose fonts and backgrounds that are easy to read but not distracting. Use color sparingly to emphasize key points.
3) Include titles and labels for any graphs or charts and check slides thoroughly for spelling and grammar errors before presenting.
4) End strongly by summarizing main ideas or suggesting future work, and leave the final slide or screen blank for audience focus.

2. Slide Structure
• Use 1-2 slides per minute of
your presentation
• Write in point form, not complete
sentences
• Include 4-5 points per slide
• Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases
only
3. Fonts
• Use at least an 18-point font
• Use different size fonts for main points and
secondary points
– this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-
point, and the title font is 36-point
• Use a standard font like Times New Roman or
Arial
4. Colour
• Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply
with the background
– Ex: blue font on white background
• Use colour to reinforce the logic of
your structure
– Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
• Use colour to emphasize a point
– But only use this occasionally
5. Background
• Use backgrounds such as this one that are
attractive but simple
• Use backgrounds which are light
• Use the same background consistently
throughout your presentation
6. Graphs
• Use graphs rather than just charts and words
– Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain
than is raw data
– Trends are easier to visualize in graph form
• Always title your graphs

7. Spelling and Grammar
• Proof your slides for:
– spelling mistakes
– the use of repeated words
– grammatical errors you might have make
• If English is not your first language, please
have someone else check your presentation!
8. Finish on your title slide or a black screen
• When you finish talking let them either see
your title slide with your contact details or end
on a black screen so that they can concentrate
on your message and how good you are.
9. Conclusion
• Use an effective and strong closing
– Your audience is likely to remember your last
words
• Use a conclusion slide to:
– Summarize the main points of your presentation
– Suggest future avenues of research
