— to select important
topics and issues
— to organize content
— to create a hierarchy
9
10. Getting Started: Design
Tips
• To select a design, ask yourself:
— What professional image do I want to
project?
— In what type of room will I give my talk?
• Well-lit room: use light background / dark
text and visuals
• Dimly-lit room: use dark background / light
text and visuals
10
11. Getting Started: Design
• Set up “Slide Master”
— Design the “look” of your slide show
• Choose appropriate template
— Selectpre-designed, color coordinated
presentation templates
• Choose “slide layouts” for slides
— Select from 12 “master slide styles”
under “FORMAT” menu to build your
show
11
12. Set up “Slide Master”:
Your Turn
• To set up a “Slide Master” of your
own:
— Go to “Format”
— Select “Background”
— Make changes in color bar:
• Colors
• Fill effects
• Textures
12
13. Project a Clear Font
• Serif: easy to read in printed documents
— Times New Roman, Palatino, Verdana
• Sans serif: easy to see projected
across the room
— Arial, Helvetica, Geneva
13
14. Fonts: Your Turn
• Change the font style of this
sentence from Arial to Palatino
• To do so…
— Highlight the sentence by dragging your cursor
across it
— Select “format” and then “font”
— Select “Palatino” from the pull-down menu
14
15. Templates: Your Turn

— Go to “Insert” and then “New Slide”
— Select one design, click “OK”
16
18. Displaying Text: Tips
Your audience...
• So you . . .
•
— — Use only essential
Skims each slide
info
— Looks for critical — Guide their eyes with
points, not details
hierarchy, color
— Needs help — Use big, legible fonts
reading/seeing text and framing blank
space
18
19. Displaying Text
• Use bullets
• Use short phrases
• Use grammatical parallelism
Not THAT kind
of bullets!!!
a
Let me explain . . .
19
20. Use Bullets: Tips
• Bullets help audience skim the slide
• Bullets help audience see relationships
between information points
• For example, this is Main Point 1,
which leads to...
— Sub-point 1
— Sub-point 2
(To get back to previous level: use “promote” or
“demote” arrows at top)
20
21. Bullets: Your Turn
• To use bullets…
— Select the “bulleted list” or “two-column
list” slide (from the 12 pre-designed slide
formats)
— Type a phrase then hit “return”

hit “tab”
— OR use “promote” or “demote” arrows at
top to create a bulleted hierarchy
21
22. Bullets: Your Turn
• To use bullets
— Go to “format” and then “bullet”
— Select the style, color, and size of the
bullets you’ll use

select the bullet button at top
22
23. Use Short Phrases: Tips
• Use phrases in your slide show
outline
• Write complete sentences only in
certain cases:
— Hypothesis
— ???
• Generate phrases that make your
point clearly and accurately
• Use slide show as an outline for your
talk, not as a script
23
24. Use Parallelism
• Make text easy for your audience to
skim by creating phrases / sentences
that are grammatically parallel
• Create parallel text by making items
in a list the same grammatical form
24
25. Grammatical Parallelism
• Not Parallel:
Criteria to Assess Alarm System
— Price
— Effectiveness
— How easily the alarm could be installed
• Parallel:
Criteria to Assess Alarm System
— Price
— Effectiveness
— Ease of installation
25
26. Use Parallelism
• Not Parallel:
— Lyse cells in buffer
— 5 minute centrifuging
— Supernatant is removed
• Parallel:
— Lyse cells in buffer
— Centrifuge for 5 minutes
— Remove supernatant
26
27. Parallelism: Your Turn
• Make the following list of sub-points
parallel:
• Reliable data collection relies upon:
— Consistent use of techniques (pipetting,
making solutions)
— Correctly calibrated equipment, such as
balances and pipettors
— Researcher bias is minimized
(expecting data to fit model; conflict of
interest)
27
29. Displaying Visuals: Tips
• Select visuals purposefully
— What visuals illustrate a point? Make
a claim? Help to prove an argument?
• Design easy-to-read visuals
— Arethe visuals easy to read by all
members of your audience?
• Draw attention to aspects of visuals
— How will you draw attention to certain
features of the visual?
29
30. Displaying Visuals
• Insert needed visuals
• Use color
• Resize appropriately
• Draw attention
That was purely
