  1. Tips to making a Great PowerPoint

  2. Simple is best • Use backgrounds that display your text and background in a pleasing fashion (not busy) • Use the same fonts, colors and design throughout the entire PowerPoint.

  3. Information • Simplify and limit the number of words on each screen.  Use key phrases and include only essential information.

  4. Don’t Cram • Limit punctuation and avoid putting words in all capital letters. Empty space on the slide will enhance readability.

  5. Readability • Use contrasting colors for text and background.  • Dark text on a light background is best.  • Patterned backgrounds can reduce readability of text.

  6. Transitions • Avoid the use of flashy transitions such as text fly-ins.  These features may seem impressive at first, but are distracting and get old quickly.

  7. Special Effects • Overuse of special effects such as animation and sounds may make your presentation "cutesy" and could negatively impact your credibility.

  8. Images • Use good quality images that reinforce and complement your message.

  9. Keep it small • Limit the number of slides.  Presenters who constantly "flip" to the next slide are likely to lose their audience.  A good rule of thumb is one slide per minute.

  10. Feedback • Practice with someone who has never seen your presentation.  Ask them for honest feedback about colors, content, and any effects or graphics you've included.

  11. Audience • Read to your audience not to your slides • The slideshow if for the audience not the presenter

  12. Reading • Try to exemplify the points in the slideshow (use examples) not just read everything from the slides • The bigger the presentation the more you should practice going through it

  13. Understanding • Do not apologize for anything in your presentation.  • If you believe something will be hard to read or understand, don't use it.
