Creating Effective PowerPoint® Presentations
Microsoft® PowerPoint® is a tool for creating dynamic oral presentations. An effective PowerPoint® presentation has maximum impact on an audience in minimal time. If you have been assigned a PowerPoint® in addition to an essay or instead of an essay, here are the key similarities [+] and differences [x] between these two forms:

GETTING STARTED WITH SLIDES
Similar to drafting an essay, when creating a PowerPoint®, you need to define your topic and focus, determine your audience, and know your purpose--whether you are informing, educating, entertaining, or persuading.
Another essential step that takes as much time when creating a PowerPoint® as it does when writing an essay is to research your subject matter and prewrite your ideas. A next step is to make an informal outline to organize your ideas and establish a clear beginning middle and end. With the groundwork complete and content prepared, you are ready to create Slide 1.
Slide 1
1. New presentations begin with a title slide. Follow the directions given in the text placeholders beginning with “click to add title” (Figure 2).
2. Then, in the next box, add your subtitle. You may also use this area to provide your name and the university name per APA guidelines or any other information required on your title slide.
3. Since a PowerPoint® accompanies an oral presentation, you may want to add speaker notes in the notes pane to elaborate on the points on each slide.

13. 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.
14. SLIDE STRUCTURE – GOOD
Show one point at a time:
Will help audience concentrate
on what you are saying
Will prevent audience from
reading ahead
Will help you keep your
presentation focused
15. FONTS - GOOD
Use at least an 18-point font
Use different size fonts for main
points and secondary points
this font is 24-point, the main point
font is 28-point, and the title font is
36-point
Usea standard font like Times
New Roman or Arial
16. FONTS - BAD
If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN
NECESSARY. IT IS
DIFFICULT TO READ
Don’t use a complicated
font
17. COLOR - GOOD
Usea color of font that contrasts
sharply with the background
Ex: blue font on white background
Use color to reinforce the logic of your
structure
Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
Use color to emphasize a point
But only use this occasionally
18. COLOR - BAD
Using a font color that does not
contrast with the background color is
hard to read
Using color for decoration is distracting
and annoying.
Using a different color for each point is
unnecessary
Using a different color for secondary
points is also unnecessary
Trying to be creative can also be bad
19. BACKGROUND - GOOD
Use backgrounds such as this one that
are attractive but simple
Use backgrounds which are light
Use the same background consistently
throughout your presentation
20. BACKGROUND – BAD
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting
or difficult to read from
Always be consistent with the
background that you use
21. GRAPHS - GOOD
Usegraphs rather than just charts and
words
Data in graphs is easier to comprehend &
retain than is raw data
Trends are easier to visualize in graph
form
Always title your graphs
22. GRAPHS - BAD

24. SPELLING AND GRAMMAR
Proof your slides for:
speling mistakes
the use of of repeated words
grammatical errors you might have make
IfEnglish is not your first language,
please have someone else check your
presentation!
25. CONCLUSION
Use an effective and strong closing
Your audience is likely to remember your
last words
Use a conclusion slide to:
Summarize the main points of your
presentation
Suggest future avenues of research

would be repeating
