Editor's Notes
- Make sure to keep the slide simple, clean and clear. You do not want to lose the message or topic you are presenting by adding too much to the slide and cluttering it up.
- Lookout for putting too many words on a slide, do not have an essay on your presentation- have as few words as possible to avoid viewers reading off the slide and ignoring what you are saying.
- Transitions can really bring a lot to a presentation, but do not over do it. The interesting factor wears off after seeing the transition once or twice, do not make your viewers sick by having too many crazy movements and do not get distracted from what you are trying to portray.
- Avoid blurry, overstretched and poor quality images. The second the image is not up to par, viewers will be too distracted or annoyed with it they may not pay attention to the slide or presentation. High quality images give off a professional and well put together impression and keep it looking good.
- Templates are very helpful when making a presentation, pull everything together and give it a well finished look. But, it is important to not use the standard, boring and overused templates that are given to you on PowerPoint. Generic, common templates are old and washed up and you will lose your viewer’s attention.
- Charts can help display and present information, but will not be effective if they are not correct. Pick the chart that is the most appropriate for the information you are showing and be sure to make it clean and well laid out so that viewer’s can get the overall impact of the data without having to work too hard.
- Color can be very helpful in a presentation, but only when used correctly. Do not have too bold colors or clashing shades that will hurt the viewer’s eyes. Make sure to use color in an efficient way to bring life to your presentation but not make it tacky or overwhelming- use it strategically not overdone.
- Make sure that the information you are presenting is in a font that is clear, readable and interesting enough to avoid the standard fonts. Make it both function based where the viewers can understand what they are looking at but also exciting enough so they are not bored- the best suggested fonts to use on slides is though of the San Serif variety.
- The media that you choose to put on your slides can make or break you. They can add a very unique and attention grabbing aspect to your presentation, but only if the pictures and videos you use are of high quality, relevant and worth putting in there.
- Organize your slides in an order that makes sense, transitions smooth and makes a coherent and well ordered presentation. You do not want to be jumping around randomly on your subject, but rather rolling from slide to slide in a way that makes sense and does not lose your viewers.
