How to Create a Good Power Point Presentation

When creating your PowerPoint slides:
  • check out the design templates
  • use standard position, colour and styles
  • only use necessary or essential information
  • content should be understandable to anyone who reads it (you shouldn’t have to explain it to them)
  • use colours that are contrasting but not jarring or distracting
  • if you use effects, transitions and animation try and make them relevant and consistent
  • too many slides will lose your audiance
Think about the text on your slides:
  • generally no more than 6 words a line
  • generally no more than 6 lines a page
  • no long sentences
  • emphasis important information with a larger font
  • keep font size at between 16 to 48
  • fancy fonts can be hard to read
  • have text contrast with or stand out from the background
  • avoid abbreviations and acronyms
  • don’t over use punctuation marks
Graphics, Images and Clipart:
  • should enhance and complement the text, not overwhelm it
  • should balance the slide
  • generally no more then two images per slide
Finally what makes a good presentation is:
  • careful planning
  • thorough research
  • time and Practice the actual presentation
  • speaking  clearly and at a reasonable pace
