Learning Objectives
To identify characteristics of an effective presentation in the Post-licensure Nursing Program at IWU.
To select the appropriate format for delivering a presentation.
To design a group of slides and become familiar with toolbar items for the PowerPoint program.
To list elements that make a PowerPoint presentation consistent.
To use graphics, art and photos, and creative presentation techniques discriminately and effectively.
Selecting a Background Design for PowerPoint Presentations
When using an LCD to project your presentation:
A blue/dark background is recommended
Dark colors are more soothing to the eye
Bright white is glaring and visually tiring
This is hard on the eyes….
Agree?
This background is very bright….
Notice how the lettering gets lost on this bright background……
This is also considered hard on the old eyeballs…..

Be Consistent
Let PowerPoint be your guide
Use the layout designs in PowerPoint
Use consistent colors and fonts throughout the presentation
Each content slide should have a heading.
Use consistent font size for all headings and capitalize major words in a slide heading.
Use consistent capitalization
Be consistent in punctuation
If you use a period after a bulleted point, continue that throughout the entire presentation
Select Readable Type Size
PowerPoint will automatically adjust font size depending on how many characters are on the page.
If you have too many elements on a page, PowerPoint will decrease the size of the font
Size 20 font is best for slide information
Try to center the words on the page
No need to use complete sentences
Font Type
Use a straight font (no curly feet)
Arial
Gill Sans
A straight font is more legible on both computer and projection screen.
Serif fonts are more legible in print
Times New Roman
Courier
Outline Formats Are Easy to Follow
Use bullets, not numbers
Bullets imply no significant order
They are easy to follow on a slide
Use numbers only to show rank or sequence
Open PowerPoint
Select design
Etc.
Adjust Lettering to Discriminate or Emphasize
Make titles a larger type size than body elements (size 36-44 font)
Emphasize important statements or words with BOLD, italic, larger size or different fonts
Titles may be in a different color than body
Choose Colors Carefully
Color wheel can be your friend
Complement & contrast
Light color text on dark background
Consistent color throughout presentation
Microsoft clipart obtained from Microsoft Office Online
Use Solid Colors Instead of Fill Patterns on Charts
Patterns on bars or pie slices cause confusion
Solid colors convey a clear bold message
The first slide should contain the same information that is included on a title page:
Title of Presentation
Your Name
Faculty Name
Course Number/Name
Date
Creating a Title Slide
David: Courageous Biblical Leader
Nancy Nurse
Faculty: Carol Bence
