Posters
Posters are prepared graphic devices that can be made of a variety of materials and mediaphotographs, diagrams, graphs, word messages, or a combination of these. Posters work best in smaller audience sizes. Posters are permanent and portable. Posters can be simple or very elaborate. Posters can be used alone or in a series to tell a story.
Flipcharts
It is most useful for interactive presentations. Flipcharts are excellent to use when you need to record lists of ideas or need to record comments from the audience. Pages can be torn from the flipchart and stuck around the room to create an expanding display.
This slide is simpler, and contains the message. The audience can get the information in a few seconds.
This slide is even better. Remember you should be telling the audience the information at the same time.
Use Consistency
Consistently use the same font face and sizes on all slides. Match colors. You may use your company logo, highlight headers, create a special frame for figures/images or the whole slide but dont overload your slides with these elements. Colors A poor choice of colors can shatter a presentation.
Use Contrast
Black text on a white background will always be the best but also the most boring choice. If you want to play with colors, keep it easy on the eyes and always keep good contrast in mind so that your readers do not have to strain to guess what youve typed on your slide.
Apply Brilliance
Carefully use color to highlight your message! Dont weaken the color effect by using too many colors at an instance. Make a brilliant choice: match colors for design and good contrast to highlight your message.
Keep It Straight and Simple. Keywords only. No sentences! Never read your slides, talk freely. Remember that your slides are only there to support, not to replace your talk! Youll want to tell a story, describe your data or explain circumstances, and only provide keywords through your slides. If you read your slides and if you do it slow and badly, the audience will get bored and stop listening.
Images
Images are key elements of every presentation. Your audience has ears and eyes theyll want to see what youre talking about, and a good visual cue will help them to understand your message much better.
Add Images
Have more images in your slides than text. But do not use images to decorate! Images can reinforce or complement your message. Use images to visualize and explain. A picture can say more than a thousand words. If you dont have your own images, you can browse Flickr or Googles image search for material. If this is a very public and official presentation however, you need to keep copyrights in mind.
Practice
A well-prepared and enthusiastic talk will help you convince your audience and maintain their attention. There are some key points that define a good talk. Know your slides inside out. Speak freely. Speak with confidence loud and clear. Dont speak too fast. Maintain eye contact with the audience.
