Слайд 3Outline
The first slide of your presentation is the title
Make the 2nd slide
an outline of your presentation
Place main points on the outline slide
Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation
Слайд 4Slide Structure – Good
Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
Write in
point form, not complete sentences
Include 4-5 points per slide
Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only
Слайд 5Slide Structure - Bad
This page contains too many words for a presentation
slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although the number of points on this slide is the same as on the previous , it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.
Слайд 6Slide Structure – Good
Show one point at a time:
Will help audience concentrate
on what you are saying
Will prevent audience from reading ahead
Will help you keep your presentation focused
Слайд 7Slide Structure - Bad
Do not use distracting animation
(ex. falling letters)
Do not
go overboard with the animation
Be consistent with the animation that you use
Слайд 8Fonts - Good
Use at least an 18-point font
Use different size fonts for
main points and secondary points
this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and the title font is 36-point
Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial
Слайд 9Fonts - Bad
If you use a small font, your audience won’t be
able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ
Don’t use a complicated font
Слайд 10Colour - Good
Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with the
background
Ex: blue font on white background
Use colour to reinforce the logic of your structure
Ex: light blue title and dark blue text
Use colour to emphasize a point
But only use this occasionally
Слайд 11Colour - Bad
Using a font colour that does not contrast with the
background colour is hard to read
Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying.
Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary
Using a different colour for secondary points is also unnecessary
Trying to be creative can also be bad
Слайд 12The Color Wheel
Colors separated by another color are contrasting colors
Adjacent colors
(next to each other) harmonize with one another. e.g. Green and Yellow
Слайд 13Clashing Colors
Colors that are directly opposite from one another are said to
clash.
These provide readability - e.g. yellow on blue.
Слайд 14Background - Good
Use backgrounds that are attractive but simple
Use backgrounds which are
light
Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation
Слайд 15Background – Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from
Always
be consistent with the background that you use
Слайд 16Graphs - Good
Use graphs rather than just charts and words
Data in graphs
is easier to comprehend & retain than is raw data
Trends are easier to visualize in graph form
Always title your graphs
Слайд 20Graphs - Bad
Minor gridlines are unnecessary
Font is too small
Colours are illogical
Title is
missing
Shading is distracting
Слайд 21Spelling and Grammar
Proof your slides for:
spelling mistakes
the use of repeated words
grammatical errors
you might have made
English is not your first language, please ask someone else to check your presentation!
Слайд 22Conclusion
Use an effective and strong closing
Your audience is likely to remember your
last words
Use a conclusion slide to:
Summarize the main points of your presentation
Слайд 23Questions??
End your presentation with a simple question slide to:
Invite your audience to
ask questions
Provide a visual aid during question period
Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
