More than 800 million
use Power point.
Tips to be Covered
 Outlines
 Slide Structure
 Fonts
 Color
 Background
 Graphs
 Spelling and Grammar
 Conclusions
 Questions
Outline
 Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your
presentation
Ex: previous slide
 Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the
presentation
 Only place main points on the outline slide
Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
Slide Structure – Good
 Use 1-2 slides per minute of your
presentation
 Write in point form, not complete sentences
 Include 4-5 points per slide
 Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases
only
Slide Structure – Bad
This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point
form, making it difficult both for your
audience to read and for you to present each
point. Although there are exactly the same
number of points on this slide as the previous
slide, it looks much more complicated. In
short, your audience will spend too much time
trying to read this paragraph instead of
listening to you.
Slide Structure – Good
Show one point at a time:
Will help audience concentrate on what you
are saying
Will prevent audience from reading ahead
Will help you keep your presentation
focused
Slide Structure - Bad
 Do not use distracting animation
 Do not go overboard with the animation
 Be consistent with the animation that you use
Fonts – Good
 Use at least an 18-point font
 Use different size fonts for main points and
secondary points
this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point,
and the title font is 44-point
 Use a standard font like Times New Roman or
Arial
Fonts - Bad
 If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
 CAPITALIZE ONLYWHEN NECESSARY. IT
IS DIFFICULTTO READ
 Don’t use a complicated font
Colour – Good
 Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with the
background
Ex: blue font on white background
 Use colour to reinforce the logic of your structure
Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
 Use colour to emphasize a point.
But do it “occasionally”
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 to be creative can also be bad
Background – Good
 Use backgrounds such as this one that are attractive
but simple
 Use backgrounds which are light
 Use the same background consistently throughout
your presentation
Bad Background
 Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult
to read from
 Always be consistent with the background that
you use
Graphs – Good
 Use graphs rather than just charts and words
- Data in graphs is easier to comprehend &
retain than is raw data
- Trends are easier to visualize in graph form
 Always title your graphs
January February March April
Blue Balls 20.4 27.4 90 20.4
Red Balls 30.6 38.6 34.6 31.6
 Minor gridlines are unnecessary
 Font is too small
 Colours are illogical
 Title is missing
 Shading is distracting
Spelling and Grammar
 Proof your slides for
- spelling mistakes
- the use of repeated words
- grammatical errors you might have made
 If English is not your first language, please have
someone else check your presentation!
Conclusion
 Use an effective and strong closing
-Your audience is likely to remember your last
words
 Use a conclusion slide to:
-Summarize the main points of your presentation
-Suggest future avenues of research
Questions??
 End your presentation with a simple question slide
to:
-Invite your audience to ask questions
-Provide a visual aid during question period
-Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
