10 Easy PP Tips
Joshua CurtisSlide2
Tip I
Know who your audience is and the purpose of your presentation.Slide3
Tip II
Be consistent with colours, backgrounds and font styles throughout. Use background colours that will contrast to the colour of the text to show up easily on a large screen. It's OK to use a template.Slide4
Tip III
Simple and plain fonts between 22 and 36 points are best for easy reading. Do not use more than two different font styles. “Extra fancy" does not mean “extra effective”!Slide5
Snack Break

Tip IV
Use bullets to highlight key words, but limit the amount of text on each slide. We used to use the 7/7 Rule (maximum of seven bullets per slide and seven words per bullet) as a rough guide, but this is now considered to be too much text. If you can't summarise it, you don't understand it!Slide7
Tip V
Don't overdo the graphics - too many things happening on a slide will distract the audience from the message you're trying to get across.Slide8
Tip VI
Clip art, animation, video and audio can enhance your message - but again, be careful not to overdo it!Slide9
Another Snack Break

Tip VIII
Use the speaker’s notes feature to help plan your presentation.Slide12
Tip IX
Check You Have Rights to the Content. This can cause you legal problems in the real world!Slide13
Tip X
Practice with the slides before presenting. Be the expert on your content so that when speaking, you can face the audience and use the slides only as a
support
to what you have to say!Slide14
