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
- 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
- should enhance and complement the text, not overwhelm it
- should balance the slide
- generally no more then two images per slide
- careful planning
- thorough research
- time and Practice the actual presentation
- speaking clearly and at a reasonable pace
