TIPS FOR EFFECTIVE VISUAL PRESENTATION
Color
· Choose complementary colors yet contrasting colors.
· Use dark on light and light on dark.
· For hints on use of color: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/715/01/
Background
Textured backgrounds may look beautiful, but they do not translate well when projected. When too many colors are used in the background the text may vary with respect to contrast. Strong contrast is preferable.
Motion
Motion is useful for capturing attention, but is easily overused and often distracting. Use motion when it makes sense to do so. Most problematic is motion that occurs too quickly to be meaningful or too slowly (causing boredom).
Font Style
· Use sans serif font especially for the body text. Serif font is acceptable for titles and larger font size.
· Font size minimums: 36- 44 point for titles, 24 - 32 point for body. No more than 3 font sizes on one slide.
· Font selection should be complimentary to the presentation. Cute or highly decorative fonts do not belong in a professional presentation.
· Strive to keep titles of slides consistent with respect to font size.
· Start all sentences and bulleted items with upper case letters.
· Use combinations of upper- and lower-case letters.
· If using all upper-case letters, consider using caps and small caps.
· Maintain font style as much as possible.
Layout
· Maintain an imaginary frame around a slide. Avoid screen “fall off”. There are occasions when you may purposely ignore this rule, but you should have an aesthetic purpose in mind. Screen “fall off” usually occurs because the presenter is attempting to force too many words onto the screen and as a result the words tend to be pushed beyond the frame of the slide. When this occurs, words get cut off or the slide is otherwise not aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes this occurs because the presenter wants to follow the “don’t change the font size rule” and as a result crams the words onto the screen.
· Strive for achieving the “rule of six”: No more than six words per line. No more than six lines per slide.
· If using bullets be sure that you have more than one item in the series. Bullets are NOT needed if you have a list of one item.
Content
· Avoid full sentences.
· Select key words (no filler words).
Graphics
· Use graphics when it makes sense to do so and select graphics that give meaning or add to the audiences’ understanding of the content. Avoid adding graphics just because you can.
· Use graphics of high resolution.
· Do not use graphics with watermarks!
