  29. What not to do with PowerPoint

  30. Bad PowerPoint • There is Good and Bad Power point • A sure sign of bad powerpoint presentations are sentences than seem to drag on forever and ever, and ever. You do not want to go over 7 sentences per slide. Most people can read, and consequently do not like to be read to.

  31. What to do • Use short simple phrases • Use normal case • 4-5 lines of text per slide

  32. I cant read a darn thing • Matthew Barnaby is getting whipped • I wish I could read this • Beware of bad backgrounds

  33. Bad Bullet Usage • Bullets are good for accentuating points • Only key points deserve to have their own bullets • Too many bullets crowd slides • They make it difficult to read the slide • Key points get lost in the mess • Too many bullet’s makes it seem like you are reading to the audience • Additional bullets force Powerpoint to cut font size.

  34. Pick the right colors • Dark text should not be with dark backgrounds

  35. Death to Clip Art • Horses make good glue. • This is still useless clip art

  36. Small Text is useless as are exotic fonts • Stay away from small fonts • Also stay away from unique fonts • Title Should Be 36-44 pt • Subtitle 28-32 pt • Text no smaller than 24

  37. Transitions The Happy days effect

  38. Remember • The goal is to add to your presentation • The audience should focus on you, not your slides • Don’t read to us!
