Repurposed for better understanding
HERE ARE A FEW STEPS TO
MAKING
YOUR OWN PRESENTATION
 This is Arial 12
 This is Arial 18
 This is Arial 24
This is Arial 32
This is Arial 36
This is Arial 44
This is too small
Avoid!!!!!!!Using small font, because your audience won’t be able to read what you have written.
The “too big size font”, it
wastes your slide space.
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ.
Don’t use a complicated font.
Looking at it from 2 metres away
Use uniform font faces for Headings/Titles throughout
the presentation
Use italics and bold to emphasize the text.
Use colours that contrast the background.
DONT....
use over-decorative fonts such as Chiller or Old English
Text.
Use good
colour
scheme
These colours contrast
These colours don’t contrast
These colours don’t contrast
These colours contrast (harder to read?)
These colours contrast (harder to read?)
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
Same for secondary points
Use a plain background (either white or black)
and then pick a nice font in two
complimentary colours.
Are simple.
Present your message nicely
Are consistent throughout your
presentation.
Bad
Background
Avoid backgrounds that are
distracting or difficult to read.
Always be consistent with the
background that you use
your presentation should move & inspire
People
THANK YOU!!!!!
