The document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations: 1) Keep designs simple with visual rest areas and do not write out every word planned to be said verbally as it will bore audiences. 2) Allow slides to act as backdrops for oral presentations rather than writing out full scripts. 3) Use high quality fonts, ensure readability with sufficient size and spacing, and check for spelling errors.

1. 1
Keep your design simple.
Do not crowd slides with too
many elements. Allow space
for visual rest areas.

2. Do not write every word you plan to say because you will
2 bore the reader and then they do not even need a
presenter. You can just show them your amazing power
point presentation. They will fall asleep. Don’t let your
audience fall asleep. Keep them awake with your theatrical
presence. Do not write every word you plan to say because

Use contrast to make your presentation
more appealing. Balance large photos
with smaller ones or dark backgrounds
with white lettering for ease of reading.

4. 4
Use quality display fonts like
Impact and Arial Black for
distance reading. Quality fonts like
Times Roman, Palatino, Arial,
Baskerville, and Century
have been around for hundreds of
years for a good reason. Use large
type. Check your spelling!

5. 5 Use colors for their contrast.
Avoid green and red. Steer
clear of thin typefaces and
fonts. Some viewers will not
be able to read your slides.
Color is very expressive. Choose colors
for their darkness or lightness. Some
colors are not seen by all viewers, like
reds and greens, which tend to fall
apart for most viewers.

6. 6 Ask
yourself a question.
?
Do you like it when presentations
include sounds and moving images?
Did they enhance your learning?
If you doubt they will add to your
presentation, then forget them.

Avoid presentations with too many
slides. Ten quality slides are more
powerful than forty weak ones.

8. 8
Don't rely heavily on clip art, which
lacks that professional look. Instead
use photos from websites like Flickr.
Cite all sources, not just your written
ones. Give credit where credit is due.

Try to involve the viewer in your
presentation by asking questions or
interacting with the audience during the
presentation. An active viewer absorbs
your message more effectively.

Test it out before sharing your
presentation with others. Catch those
spelling errors before a discerning
audience views your hard work.
