7. Don't keep slides like this!
I often come across students fearing about their final
presentation in their academics. So, I thought to write
about it to help them to excel in final project demo
and gain more marks.
Let me share a funny example I gave to my students
when they asked about 'How external examiners
treat them?' My answer was simple. It is like you put
down different types of crackers around you and
examiners will burst whichever they like the most ;)
8. Some tips on your slide design:
1. Keep it simple
2. Keep font big (30 px onward is preferable)
3. Use pictures appropriately.
4. Don't mention more than 6 points
5. Add one those points which you are good at.
6. Don't use too much animations.
7. Don't use sound effects.
9. Don't use too much colors.
This creates eye distraction. Use
complementary colors and either white or
black background (gradient if it suits) are
suggested.
10. Avoid too much CAPITALIZATION.
MORE CAPITALIZATION LEADS TO CLUTTER
AND DISTRACTION.
