Making PowerPoint 際際滷s Avoiding the Pitfalls of Bad 際際滷s
Tips to be Covered Outlines 際際滷 Structure Fonts Colour Background Graphs Spelling and Grammar Conclusions Questions
Outline Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your presentation Ex: previous slide Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation Only place main points on the outline slide Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
際際滷 Structure Good Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation Write in point form, not complete sentences Include 4-5 points per slide Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only
際際滷 Structure - Bad This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.
際際滷 Structure Good Show one point at a time: Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying Will prevent audience from reading ahead Will help you keep your presentation focused
際際滷 Structure - Bad Do not use distracting animation Do not go overboard with the animation Be consistent with the animation that you use
Fonts - Good Use at least an 18-point font Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and the title font is 36-point Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial
Fonts - Bad If you use a small font, your audience wont be able to read what you have written CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ Dont use a complicated font
Colour - Good Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with the background Ex: blue font on white background Use colour to reinforce the logic of your structure Ex: light blue title and dark blue text Use colour to emphasize a point But only use this occasionally
Colour - Bad Using a font colour that does not contrast with the background colour is hard to read Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying. Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary Using a different colour for secondary points is also unnecessary Trying to be creative can also be bad
Background - Good Use backgrounds such as this one that are attractive but simple Use backgrounds which are light Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation
Background Bad Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from Always be consistent with the background that you use
Graphs - Good Use graphs rather than just charts and words Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain than is raw data Trends are easier to visualize in graph form Always title your graphs
Graphs - Bad January February March April Blue Balls 20.4 27.4 90 20.4 Red Balls 30.6 38.6 34.6 31.6
Graphs - Good Items Sold in First Quarter of 2002 100 90 80 70 60 Blue Balls 50 Red Balls 40 30 20 10 0 January February March April
Graphs - Bad 100 90 90 80 70 60 Blue Balls 50 Red Balls 40 38.6 34.6 30.6 31.6 30 27.4 20.4 20.4 20 10 0 January February March April
Graphs - Bad Minor gridlines are unnecessary Font is too small Colours are illogical Title is missing Shading is distracting
Spelling and Grammar Proof your slides for: speling mistakes the use of of repeated words grammatical errors you might have make IfEnglish is not your first language, please have someone else check your presentation!
Conclusion Use an effective and strong closing Your audience is likely to remember your last words Use a conclusion slide to: Summarize the main points of your presentation Suggest future avenues of research
Questions?? End your presentation with a simple question slide to: Invite your audience to ask questions Provide a visual aid during question period Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
