How to make effective presentation
The document provides guidelines for designing effective PowerPoint presentations. It recommends that presentations be big, simple, clear, progressive, and consistent. Specifically, it suggests using large font sizes, limiting the number of words, lines and colors per slide, employing high contrast, focusing content, and introducing new concepts gradually. Differences should attract rather than distract audiences, and consistency keeps viewers focused on the content. Overall, the goal is for visuals to support spoken explanations, not serve as the main content.
