The document provides guidance on creating effective presentations. It recommends that presentations should have contents tailored to the audience, use simple language the audience can understand, and have a smooth sequence. Presenters should focus on preparation, organization, visual aids, and delivery. When planning, presenters should consider who the audience is, the topic and purpose. Effective introductions capture attention, establish credibility, and preview main points. The body of the presentation should have a clear sequence, and conclusions should review and summarize key points while allowing for questions. Visual aids should be designed simply and use an appropriate color scheme. Presenters should rehearse and be confident in their topic to avoid stage fright.

19. Designing Electronic Presentations
Use
- slide design templates
- proper structure
- proper colour scheme

20. Slide structure- bad
 This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point
form, making it difficult both for your
audience to read and for you to present each
point. Although there are exactly the same
number of points on this slide as the previous
slide, it looks much more complicated. In
short, your audience will spend too much
time trying to read this paragraph instead of
listening to you.

21. Slide structure – good
 Show one point at a time:
- helps audience to concentrate
- prevents audience from reading ahead

22. Tips - colours in visuals
 Use WARM colours
 Colour palette of FIVE or less
 Same colour for similar elements
 Dark text on light backgrd - bright rooms
 Light text on dark backgrd - dark rooms
 Dark on light for transparencies

build or dissolve from center
previous points lightened
 Consistency in transition effect

29. Adding multimedia & other
effects
 Sound
 Animation
 Video
 Real life photographic images
 Use of hyperlinks

30. Other uses
