NO SHOTGUN BULLETS
•Ready
•Aim
•Fire
THAT’S BETTER
•Poof
•Bang
•Now
Keep
Your
Slide
Backgrounds
…The same
This is the stage for your presentation.
•Consistent
•Easy on the eyes
•Keeps attention on content
•Much easier to create
Don’t overload your slide
1. Use larger fonts
2.Don’t spend too much time on any one
Slide
3. Too much information leads to limited
content retention
4. Use the rule of fours
• Don’t use more than 4 bullets
• If you must use more than 4, use grouping
• If you can’t group, make a new slide
5. Notice how this slide looked when you first saw
it.
6. Don’t do this to those poor students
Keep slides stupid simple!
•Content is crystal clear
•Content is organized
•Content is relevant
•Content is brief
Contrast is key
Consider backgrounds that will
make your text most visible
…but not irritating to the eye
Anchor text to the left
•Keep text in close proximity to each other.
•Use familiar, easy to read fonts.
•Use graphics sparingly.
DON’T USE ALL CAPS
•Don’t space text so far apart
•Don’t use hard to read fonts
•Don’t overuse graphics
•Its not an 80’s party announcement
…or is it?
…and if at all possible,
don’t use a slide show.
-their for old people.
