- 26. Presentation Tips Contentcomes first! Be Consistent choose an overall template/ background color scheme choose 1 font for body 1 font for headers If using outline form with numbers, letters, etc… choose one format and stick with it Include title slide, agenda slide, and a closing slide (good for your contact info.)
- 27. General Design Guidelines Keep it Simple and Clear – if it doesn’t support the message you want to give – you probably don’t need it. Consider Layout – balance text and visuals, utilize “white space.” Grab Their Attention – be intentional about placing visuals that create contrast or emphasis.
- 28. Choosing a Template/Background Background design should be subordinate to your content Background should be appropriate for your audience Use 1 background throughout the presentation
- 29. Bad Example ofa Background • Too much Contrast • Your content is limited to 1/3 or 2/3 of the slide • Poor quality • Eye is drawn to the background, too busy
- 30. Using Color ina Presentation Dark backgrounds with light text are usually easiest to read. (if presented on a large screen in a dark room) Light backgrounds with dark text work well for distributing on the computer/printing. Work well if you are in a large auditorium that is bright or the fluorescent lights will be on. Be wary of combinations like Red/Green Be wary of combinations that are too close – white background/yellow text

Editor's Notes
- #4 Create an outline or the text – concepts of your presentation first. Work through the presentation – mark or identify key points, ideas, concepts, especially any place that you need to share a lot of data or hard facts. Is there a way to display it visually? Is there anything in the presentation that makes you think of a visual? A visual can be used to help your audience quickly understand complex data or facts. Image from http://morguefile.com/archive/display/24623 by clarita
- #6 The supply-demand model is one of the fundamental concepts of economics. The price level of a good essentially is determined by the point at which quantity supplied equals quantity demand. This point is called equilibrium. If the quantity supplied is greater than the quantity demanded, then there is a surplus of goods. If the quantity supplied is less than the quantity demanded, the there is a shortage of goods.
- #8 Note that there is a difference between free and royalty-free – be aware of this when searching for images. Royalty-free still has a cost of purchase, but you are not going to pay royalties to use it.
- #10 If you are giving a factual presentation. You are likely going to need to present some data, some hard numbers. That can be a challenge. How do you keep the audience awake and get the numbers to them. Use visuals, graphs, charts, diagrams, infographics. Interactive or live data is great
- #15 If you are going to show a video, think about what purpose it serves in your presentation and how it will impact your audienceHow long is it? If you are giving a 10 minute presentation and the video clip is 7 minutes long, isn’t it doing the presenting for you? People came to hear you. Consider cutting the video to the most important point – teaser/introduction videos are a good way to engage the audience And http://www.tubechop.com/ - another youtube video chopper – show only a portion of a videoThere are many video sources beyond on youtube – most news stations have a video gallery, many government sites, vimeo, teachertube.
- #16 The authorstream add-in offers several features for developing your presentation – it’s a free download – just watch to make sure you download the free one – there is another one on their site that requires a purchase after a 30 day trial. This free one – adds an extra tab in your PowerPoint software – if you have an authorstream account you can use the publish feature on the tab to upload your presentation directly to the website
- #18 Be careful with sound effects – this can be really overwhelming to some people
- #19 You never know when you present what technical problems you are going to run into. Have a back up plan and a back up plan for that. Know your audience, the visuals you choose to supplement a presentation for a group of young college students is going to be drastically different than the visuals you would choose to supplement a presentation to a group of senior citizens
- #21 The wonderful presentation tools and software to create visuals come with all kinds of “eye candy” – use it appropriately!! Just because it looks cool or fun is not a good reason to use it in your presentation. 1.) It could be that distraction from the message you are wanting the audience to leave with 2.) It could offend the audience, if they are professionals or listening to a sensitive subject 3.) We have all been so exposed to “eye candy” that it tends to annoy us rather than help us understand and appreciate your message For example, the dancing hamster does little for us if you presentation is on how to detect breast cancerIce breakers and humor are wonderful assets to a presentation just be very weary of what message it sends to your audience. The timing make sure it is appropriate in the flow of your message.
- #24 Choose a graphic style that fits your audience.It doesn’t do any good to fill your presentation with photos no one can see or make sense of. Respect copyright. Don’t go to Google images and start searching and pulling any and every image you see. For one reason alone, no one wants to sit in a court room and try to explain themselves. Another good reason, we want our presentation and creations to be respected by others, don’t we? This doesn’t mean you can’t use the visual, it means there might be a chance you can’t use it and will need to find something else or that you just need to go the right way about using it.
- #32 A slide will only keep your audience’s attention for a very short period of time. You don’t want your audience reading. You want them listening to you! Think of this illustration. How fast are these cars going by on a busy interstate where they have other things to pay attention to? Let’s say they are going 40 mph. How much of that bulletin board are they going to be able to read?
- #39 PowerPoint is simply a tool. IT can’t be evil, but how the tool used can be. These funny clips by the comedian Don McMillan have been around for awhile now. While they are meant to be funny and sarcastic, there’s a lot of truth in them.
- #40 Think carefully about the technology you choose to supplement your presentation. Will you have internet connection where you are presenting? Will you need an actual file of the presentation at any point?
- #41 Good to host a large presentation – url and channel make it an easy way to distribute your presentation without killing lots of trees!
- #42 Authorstream is a free presentation hosting site. I use this site the most because it has always had the ability to make a presentation private and then embed it into our course management system, blackboard and that’s how I utilize it the most. You can also upload presentations up to 1 GB in size. It is also the easiest to create narrated PowerPoint files. You can record your narration in PowerPoint and upload the PowerPoint file and it’ll recognize the audio.
- #43 Online slide builder – lot of good tools – can use it through google drive and save it there – need good internet connection – makes it easy to insert multimedia from the web – at last check – no way to export it out of sliderocket
- #44 Be careful with animation in prezi – prezi is known for its ability to zoom, fly and spin all over the place. Work through the animation and movement from node to node several times and make sure it is not too much. You don’t want to make your audience sick or cause a seizure. It can be a good tool for a quick visual presentation. Best for simple text and images or links to other resources. Limit the text and detail. Keep it very simple and the animation very simple. Others – present.me – many slideshow apps available – plug an ipad into the podium?? Online slideshow tools - http://www.kizoa.com/http://slide.ly/http://animoto.com/ video, audio, photos
