Transcript of Howtocreatea ppt
General ideas: presentation
Create a draft. Brainstorm your ideas before starting the Power Point
presentation.
Ask yourself the “W” questions. What? Where? Why? When? Who?
Simplify the most important ideas you want the audience to know after the
presentation.
Structure your message. Once your ideas are clear, write down key
points, general contents and figure out resources you can need.
Few slides. Too many overloads people.
General ideas: delivery
Power Point only gives support to your oral communication.
Talk to the audience and don’t turn your back to them.
Tell some stories, anecdotes or examples. You’ll create a comfortable
atmosphere.
Remember the “B” key. The screen will go blank and you can explain
better.
Give detailed handouts instead of Power Point copies.
Remember that you’re the presentation!
Colors. Choose the most adequate template to your audience, but avoid:
Keep the background simple. Use templates with appropriate contrast
and background. It is essential to make your text easy to read.
Shiny Poor Bad contrast Textures
Design: template
Keep the color scheme consistent. Repeat certain elements throughout
your presentation.
Use different ones. You can find in:

Reduce the text on your slides to a minimum. Too much information
distract the audience.
Add no more than 20 - 25 slides (or 15- 20, depending on the contents,
time…)
Focus your information to a maximum of 5 key points or ideas.
Use short, simple and concise sentences.
Light background with dark text is better.
Design: text
Keep it simple!
Use a font large enough for easy reading in the back.
Arial, Tahoma and Times New Roman are advisable.
Use the most appropriates, but with different purposes.
Avoid capital letters. It’s harder for the people to understand.
Design: font
Make certain that you need them to enhance your message.
Explain your graphs, diagrams, conceptual maps or symbols.
Clear graphs help the audience to remember the main points.
Design: graphs and diagrams
Confused Clear
Conceptual map (example)

Design: graphs and diagrams
A picture is worth than a thousand words.
Narration with images is better than text alone.

Not too many pictures
Design: pictures, photos
Clip arts are fun to use but only if they support or illustrate the key points.
Sometimes animations show lack of professionalism.
Two many on a page make it hard for the reader to keep the attention
on the speaker.
Design: Animation and clip arts
Distract the audience. Even the builds (lines of text appearing
each time you click the mouse).
Several effects and transitions runs can be distracting. Focus on
your message, not the technology.
Leave the fade-ins, wipes, blinds and splits to science fiction
movies.
Use video and audio when appropriate.
