DESIGNING A GOOD PRESENTATIONTHE DOS AND DONTS
HERE ARE A FEW STEPS TO MAKINGYOUR OWN PRESENTATION
Select or create your own theme
FONT SIZE
This is Arial 12This is Arial 18This is Arial 24This is Arial 32This is Arial 36This is Arial 44
Choose a standard (common) font like Times New Roman or Arial.
This is too small
Avoid!!!!!!!Using small font, because your audience won’t be able to read what you have written.
The “too big size font”, it wastes your slide space.CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ.
Don’t use a complicated font.
Test the font by........
Looking at it from 2 metres away
Use uniform font faces for Headings/Titles throughout the presentation
Use italics and bold to emphasize the text.Use colours that contrast the background.
DONT....use over-decorative fonts such as Chiller or
Old English Text.
NOTE
USE A COLOUR SCHEME Use good colour
scheme
Use font color that contrasts sharply with the background
These colours contrast
These colours don’t contrast
These colours don’t contrast
These colours contrast (harder to read?)
These colours contrast (harder to read?)
Using a font color that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read.
Using color for decoration is distracting and annoying.
Using a different color for each point is unnecessary
Same for secondary points
BACKGROUND SCHEME
Use a plain background (either white or black) and then pick a nice font in
two complimentary colours.
Are simple. Present your message nicely
Are consistent throughout your presentation.
GOOD BACKGROUNDS
BadBackground
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read.
Always be consistent with the background that you use
