Know your target audience and the purpose of the presentation.

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.

Simple and plain fonts between 22 and 36 points are best for reading.

Do not use more than two different font styles.

Remember, “Extra fancy” does not mean “Extra effective”!

Use bullets to highlight key words.

But limit the amount of text on each

side.

We used to use the 7/7 Rule 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!

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.

Clip art, animation, video and audio can enhance your message

But again, be careful not to overdo it!

Spell check and proofread slides!

Spelling and grammatical errors will make you look very silly!

Use the speaker’s notes feature to help plan your presentation.

Check that you have rights to the content.

This can cause you legal problems in the real world!

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!
