The document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations. It recommends keeping presentations simple with plenty of white space and limited text. Bullet points should be used sparingly and a readable font selected. Graphics can be used to grab attention but only a few per slide. Charts and graphs should be chosen appropriately to depict information clearly. A basic color scheme is advised to coordinate slides without being distracting. The overall goal is to convey messages to audiences without overwhelming them with excessive content.

1. Effective Power point
Presentations
Home work #1 Hunter Osborne

2. Step #1-Keep it simple
The Objective of power points is to convey information
using slides that are simple and to the point.
• People are in your presentation in order to to hear the
information you have to say, do not bore them with
endless information on numerous slides.
• Your slides should have plenty of “white and black
spaces” meaning that not every slide should be
filled with information.

3. Step 2- Limit Bullet Points and
Text
 Be sure to chose a font that
the audience can see
clearly.
 Your presentation is for
the benefit of the
audience, don’t include
more text than
necessary.
 The best slides might
even be the ones with no
text in them! Make sure
you convey your message
without boring the
audience.

4. Step #3- Use Clip Art/ High
Quality Graphics
Clip Art is Great!
 Having art or some kind of
picture in your presentations
grabs the viewers attention.
 Having some sort of picture
also helps convey a message,
or story.
 Just be sure to not
include too many
pictures, which can
overwhelm the
audience!

5. Step #4- Use Appropriate Tools
 Often times there are
instances when charts,
graphs, and tables are
required to show
information.
 Be sure you’re using the
appropriate charts to
depict your information.
 Pi charts are for
percentages, Vertical
charts are for showing
data, and horizontal charts
are used to show
quantities.

6. Step #5- Match Color Schemes
Color is believed to evoke emotions. It’s important to have a
color scheme that goes well with your font, and background
that compliment your presentation.
Don’t go overboard with the ability to pick and choose
colors, keep it simple and basic, but professional.
Also don’t need to be an expert in color theory to know
which colors do and do not go well together. Be sure to pick
a color scheme that stands out and works.
