Editor's Notes
- Tips to create a more effective presentation.
- The less information on the slide, the more powerful the message. Simplicity allows audience to focus on the speaker, rather than reading what’s on the screen or being distracted by various images.
- A lot of text on the slide causes the audience to read rather than listen. The presenter will be forced to speak to the audience and make eye contact rather than read off the slide.
- Transitions can be distracting and take up too much time. A simple transition between slides, rather each word, is the most professional and effective.
- Avoid Clip Art. Photographs with high quality add a more professional look to the presentation.
- Using the typical PowerPoint templates creates a “cookie cutter” presentation and is boring for the audience. Unique themes and original templates are more interesting to follow.
- Charts should be simple and easy to read. Too much information on a chart can get confusing. It is important to keep in mind that different charts display data in a different way.
- Color can evoke different emotions and feelings, and increase interest in the presentation.
- Fonts should be large and easy to read, especially for those in the back of the room. San-Serif fonts are the best for presentations.
- Using various forms of media can enhance the presentation when it is necessary. Video and audio can help people learn, but avoid using sound effects among the slides as it is “cheesy” and can be distracting.
- The order of the information presented matters. The audience should be able to follow along easily if it is presented in a logical manner. Slide sorting view allows you to look at the flow of your presentation.
