Basic Rules for Presentationsfor CONTENT Consider your audience
Basic Rules for Presentationsfor CONTENT Hide details from the slides
Basic Rules for Presentationsfor CONTENT Include Bibliography/ Reference
Basic Rules- Capitalization This is an example of capitalizing the first word. Less formal. Easier to type and fewer decisions. AVOID ALL CAPS – VERY HARD TO READ. First Cap - More Formal. Harder To Type And More Decisions.
Use Restraint With Fonts Employ only a few.. stick to familiar fonts Stay away from gimmicky fonts unless for a theme. Keeptypesizesconsistent. Serif vsSan Serif. DON’T USE ALL CAPS.
Choose Fonts Wisely Italics are more difficult to read. Use bold when you want some words to stand out. Font size Easy to read (18 pt) Easy to read (24 pt) Easy to read (32 pt) Easy to read (48 pt)
Avoid Too Much Text Having too much text on the screen can defeat the purpose of using PowerPoint. The slides begin to look like a jumble of text, making slides difficult to read and unrecognizable from each other. People will either try to read everything or copy everything down or they will lose interest. List only the key points. If you have more info to include use more slides or create handouts.
Worse and Fatal Flaw : Text OVERLOAD • When you put text on the slide, it’s an implied invitation to read it. If you’ve included so much text your audience can’t comprehend it at a glance, then you’re already headed in the wrong direction because you’ve lost their attention, and whatever you say while they’re reading is largely ignored. Don’t believe me? Then what did I just say? • Of course, some might just decide to ignore your slides, which means your slides are pointless. Don’t waste their time and yours. If the information is that crucial, give it to them in handouts. But then don’t read the handout to them! Do that and you’re right back to wasting time. Oh yes, and distribute handouts before the presentation. • Start by asking yourself, “What three things will I just hate myself for if I let these people leave the room without knowing?” Much more content than that and the audience starts losing what’s important. Unless, of course, you’re one of those people who thinks everything you have to say is of dire importance. Funny thing, though: it’s the people in the audience who get to decide what they’ll pay attention to and what they’ll tune out. Help them make that decision by limiting the content of your slides individually and your presentation overall.
Basic Rules That You Must Have to Have a Good Presentation. One of the most common mistakes in creating a presentation is to place too much information on the screen. This can cause the reader to become distracted from the speaker…just like you are now. Audiences are much more receptive to the spoken word.
Basic Rules Keep it simple.. Make bulleted points easy to read. Keep text easy to understand. Use concise wording. Bullets are focal points. Presenter provides elaboration. Keep font size large.
Basic Power Point Guidelines Use builds… don’t give them too much info at once. Stick with the same transition. Be creative but leave some color choices to professionals.
