Some DOs and DON’Ts

*

Common problems

  • Too much information per slide
  • Busy backgrounds
  • Multiple backgrounds in same presentation
  • Misuse of color
  • Font size or style

*

  • Keep information as brief as you can. Don’t use fancy graphics, they may look good but they just become a blur to many users. Try not to put up notes that go on and on about the subject as it will just become a reading exercise for the audience and they really do not have to put up with it, as they have come to listen to you and not see how much information you can put on a slide. Besides less is in fact more as you can then divert away from the set text if audience participation ........

Too much information

  • Allow white space for easy reading
  • Highlight important or key words

*

*

Multiple backgrounds in same presentation

Misuse of color

Font size or style (44)

  • This is too small (16 Arial)
  • Minimum font size for presentation usually 24
  • or 24 bold
  • This is 32 Arial

*

Use Bullets, Not Numbers

  • Bullets imply no significant order
  • Use numbers only to show rank or sequence
