Use MS PowerPoint
• Use Microsoft PowerPoint 2010 or higher to develop your PP.
• Add transitions and graphics to your slide show.
• Be creative with your use of charts and graphs. Look at all of the options within the Format Tab for graphics. This is available after you import a graphic into the PP.
• Use SMARTART to enhance your PP.
Select a Professional PowerPoint Design
• Select a background/design for your PP that is professional.
• The background should be consistent throughout the PP.
Select a Type that is Easy to Read
• Use 24-30 pts. to increase visibility for all bullets. The size should be the same on all slides.
• The color of the type should be easy to read and appropriate for the background.
• Selecting a consistent design will provide the color that is appropriate for your PowerPoint.
Selecting and Placing Graphics
• Do not allow pictures, graphs, or charts to cover the type.
• Make sure that the slide has a margin around the outer edge.
• Note the margins on this slide. Your graphics should be placed within the text box.
PowerPoint Bullets
• Use short phrases of five or six words.
• The PP should not contain everything you plan to say.
• Keep the bullets simple, short, and clear.
• Do not use sentences on a PP that will be used in a presentation unless it is a quote.
• Use no more than five or six bullets per slide.
• You will provide most of the information during your presentation using the PP as a guide and visual for your audience.
