Top 10 Powerpoint Tips

Editor's Notes

  • #3 An effective powerpoint has simple pictures that support what the speaker is saying. You don’t want complicated slides distracting the viewers from your presentation.
  • #4 Your presentation should not have too many words on it because that will bore the audience. Some of the best slides may have no text at all.
  • #5 You do not want to have too many effects or animations on your slides. Some animations can make your presentation seem non professional.
  • #6 A high quality photo is the key to a good slide. There are many free high resolution pictures available on the internet. Never stretch a low resolution picture to fit into the slide.
  • #7 You need to have a common theme throughout your presentation. Try to stay away from the generic PowerPoint templates and use something unique.
  • #8 Do not include too much data on your charts. You do not want to overwhelm the viewers with too much data. You can also use tables to organize your information.
  • #9 Pairing cool and warm colors with each other is a great way to use color. If you are presenting in a dark room, a dark background with light text is most effective and vice versa for a light room.
  • #10 You should use the same font throughout your presentation. Make sure you keep the text simple and that it is easy to read. Do not pick any crazy fonts.
  • #11 Use video clips to show examples of your topic. Video clips can be inserted directly into powerpoint. Audio clips can be very effective but stay away from cheesy sound effects.
  • #12 Your presentation needs to have a logical flow. Use Slide Sorter to help organize your slides effectively. You can either break up slides or combine slides to create a natural flow.
