The slides are a presentation of guidelines on making PowerPoint slides that are stimulating and appropriate

1. THE MAKING OF POWERPOINT
SLIDES
How to avoid bad slides

3. IT IS A POWERPOINT, MAKE IT
Clear
Concise
To the point

4. TIPS TO BE COVERED
Outline
Background
Fonts
Color
Slide structure
Content
Spelling and grammar

5. OUTLINE
Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your
presentation
Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the
presentation
Only place main points on the outline slide

6. BACKGROUND

7. BACKGROUND-BAD
Always be consistent with the background that you
use
Use backgrounds which are light
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult
to read from such as this one

8. FONTS

9. Make sure the font being used is clear.
Try to avoid anything too eloquent
And be sure that it is largeenough to be seen.

10. FONTS
Font style should be readable
Recommended fonts: Arial, Tahoma, Veranda
Standardize the Font Throughout

11. COLORS

12. Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with the
background
 Using a font colour that does not contrast with the
background colour is hard to read
Though boring, apparently white backgrounds and black text
are supposed to work best
Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary
Trying to be creative can also be bad

13. THE COLOR WHEEL
 Adjacent colors harmonize with one another
(Green and Yellow)
 Colors separated by another color are
contrasting colors (complementary)
 Colors directly opposite one another are said
to CLASH
 Clashing colors provide readability
 Green and Purple


14. SLIDE STRUCTURE-GOOD
Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
Write in point form, not complete sentences
Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only
Include 4-5 points per slide

15. 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.

16. CONTENT

17. TOO MANY SLIDES
I know you feel passionate about your subject
but remember slides are there to support your
message not deliver it !

19. TEXT ON ITS OWN
ALONE
IS
NOT
SUFFICIENT

20. USE WORDS
AND
PICTURES

21. BREAK TEXT INTO MULTIPLE
PAGES

22. Spelling and Grammar

23.  Proof your slides for:
 spelling mistakes
 the use of repeated words
 grammatical errors you might have make
 If English is not your first language, please have
someone else check your presentation

24. YOUR SLIDES ARE NOT YOUR PRESENTATION
 Your slides are a focus for your presentation
 Your topic is proof
 You present your proof with slides to focus
interest on what you think is important
