  1. Presenting your study June 26, 2013

  2. Presentation Design Are my slides well designed… or just decorated?

  3. Design • do not overload your slides • don’t let the design obscure your message • don’t put anything on a slide (text, images, pictures, tables, and graphs) if you are not going to talk about them, or mention them • consistent font face and sizes throughout the presentation

  4. KISS - Keep It Straight and Simple

  5. no sentences – in point form keywords and phrases only Think of your slide as a billboard on the freeway… 7 words at 65 miles per hour is about all

  6. Images: smart ideas A picture can say more than a thousand words

  7. Images • Use to reinforce or complement your message • Avoid using PowerPoint’s thousand times seen built-in clipart • They just don’t feel fresh and new anymore

  8. Using background template • Avoid PowerPoint template • seen by your audience countless times • make your own background templates

  9. Color evokes feelings • Text & background-Both should be in contrast • Use different color to emphasize a point

  10. COLORS HAVE MEANINGS

  11. WARM COLORS COOL COLORS

  12. LANGUAGE OF COLORS

  13. DON’T USE COLORS THAT MAY HAVE THE AUDIENCE RECOLLECTING SOME OTHER IDEA!!!

  14. 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 tobe creativecan alsobe bad

  15. Background – Bad • Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from • Always be consistent with the background that you use

  16. Font • Use at least an 18-point font • Smaller fonts are harder to read ( this is 16 point font) • Different fonts for primary and secondary points • Use san serif fonts (Arial, Helvetica, or Calibri) • Specially designed foe presentations • Easy to read on screens • Avoid capitalization

  17. Using the space on your slides effectively!

  18. Graphs - Bad • Minor gridlines are unnecessary • Font is too small • Colors are illogical • Title is missing • Shading is distracting

  19. Spelling and Grammar • Proof your slides for: • spelling mistakes • the use of repeated words • grammatical errors you might have make • If English is not your first language, please have someone else check your presentation!

  20. Conclusions • Your audience will remember your last words • Summarize • Future avenues

  21. Questions ??????

  22. Speaking!!!

  23. Getting prepared for your presentation

  24. Before presentation • Show up early to check out the room and the equipment. • Save your presentation on machine and make a trial run

  25. Verbal communications • Voice effects • Avoid repeated use of words like ‘OK’, ‘I mean’ or ‘you know’ • Close by thanking your audience

  26. Presenting your work to others • Prepare, prepare, prepare • Think audience • Don’t read the text on slides • Communicate • Don’t hide behind a computer, a paper, or a desk. • Take home message?

  27. During presentation • Do not underestimate the energy of the live performance • Energize your audience with your energy • Make eye contact

  28. Non verbal communication • Pauses!!! • What you do with your hands? • use the motions of your hands and arms to support the content of our speech • DO not stand still • Move???

  29. Running out of time!!!! • Do not exceed your allocated time : reflects poor preparation • Better omit portions of your talk, don’t tell your audience that you are doing so. (You will come across as not well prepared.) • Use of laser pointer???? • Face expressions • Show enthusiasm for the subject

  30. Responding to audience’s questions • When you are asked a question • move towards the person who asked it and • repeat or rephrase the question for the audience.

  31. Use black/white screen during the presentation • To display a black screen, press the B key • To display a white screen, simply press the W key • Press the B or W key a second time to restore slides

  32. The most important thing to remember…. Personalize your presentation

  33. Personalizing your presentation • If you have something more innovative and interesting …. please BREAK THESE RULES ;-)

  34. Best Learning:Watch what others do and learn from them
