Tips to making a successful power point presentation

Editor's Notes

  • #3 Keep the slides simple to not distract the audience too much
  • #4 Keep consistent theme throughout the entire slide show
  • #5 Grab the audience’s attention right from the beginning with an interesting topic
  • #6 Keep one key point to each slide
  • #7 Use creative fonts to keep the audience interested and not bored
  • #8 But also use large fonts so that the audience can see and can tell what youre trying to say
  • #9 Don’t write paragraphs on the slides just a few words to get your point across
  • #10 NEVER use clip art, always try and use the best quality pictures you can find
  • #11 With these high quality pictures make sure they are relevant to what you are trying to say
  • #12 Don’t use too many animations and sounds that would distract the audience from what youre trying to say
  • #13 Use simple charts to try and explain any data that you are telling the audience
  • #14 Don’t have too many slides to where the presentation takes too long and you bore the audience by the end of it.
  • #15 Don’t read off the slides, keep eye contact with the audience best you can
  • #16 Try to tell a story to the audience
  • #17 But while youre telling the story make sure youre timing of words is kept up with the timing of what is on the slide
