Outline
previous slide
Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation Only place main points on the outline slide
Ex:
Write in bullet-point form, not long sentences Try not to exceed 4-5 points per slide Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases instead
This page contains too many words for a presentation slide, so it looks like a nasty wall of text. Yuck! It is not written in bullet-point form, making it difficult for your audience to look at and read. Although there are the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated (and boring). In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph.
Fonts - Good
Use standard fonts like Times New Roman or Arial Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points (PowerPoint does this automatically)
This
font is 26-point, the main point font is 29-point, and the title font is 44-point
Fonts - Bad
If you use a small font, your audience will strain their eyes.
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ AND SEEMS LIKE YOURE SHOUTING. AAARRRGGGHHHH!! Dont use a complicated font or one that is difficult to read
clearly.
Color - Good
Color - Bad
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 Trying to be creative with color can also be bad
Background - Good
Use backgrounds and slide designs that are attractive, simple, and dont mess up your font Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation
Background Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from Always be consistent with the background that you use
Try to use pictures, clip art, or graphs rather than just words
