How to Make a Simple but Effective PowerPoint Presentation A. Oral Speaking Skills Assignment sheet criteria/gradesheet B. Visual Design Basic Guidelines for PowerPoint Design The Four Principles of Document Design Using Blank Space and Text Effectively Materials are modified from “Chapter 11.

Criteria: Oral Presentation Quality Connection with audience, engaging Composure body position eye contact posture Clarity of Voice volume articulation (pronounce each sound clearly) Chapter 11. Designing Documents and Web Sites © 2012 by Bedford/St. Martin's

PowerPoint design has five goals: to make a good impression on readers to help readers understand the structure and hierarchy of the information to help readers find the information they need to help readers understand the information to help readers remember the information Chapter 11.

Follow these four guidelines for designing a PowerPoint presentation: Use simple backgrounds. Use conservative color combinations to increase text legibility. Avoid decorative graphics and overly fancy transitions or animations. All elements should have a clear purpose. Chapter 11. Designing Documents and Web Sites © 2012 by Bedford/St. Martin's 4

Understanding Sports Better WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS PICTURE? Don’t kick a basketball My suggestions is not to do this. Basketball Basketball, not a soccer ball Source: http://www.nick.com/nick-assets/shows/images/marvin-marvin/flipbooks/basketball/marvin-marvin-basketball-6.jpg

Follow these three suggestions to make text easy to read: Keep the text short. Chunk information. Make the text as simple as possible. Make sure the background does not interfere. When using large pictures, limit the text. Chapter 11. Designing Documents and Web Sites © 2012 by Bedford/St. Martin's 6

There are four principles of design: proximity alignment repetition contrast Chapter 11. Designing Documents and Web Sites © 2012 by Bedford/St. Martin's 7

Example of a Slide with Poor Contrast Here you can see a basketball player making a mistake that would be penalized in real basketball game.

Margins and blank spaces have four purposes: to limit the amount of information on the page, making the document easier to read and use If printed out, to provide space for binding and allow readers to hold the page without covering up the text to provide a neat frame around the type to provide space for marginal glosses Chapter 11. Designing Documents and Web Sites © 2012 by Bedford/St. Martin's 13

make different impressions: Different typefaces make different impressions: This paragraph is typed in Monotype Corsiva typeface. You are unlikely to see this style of font in a technical document because it is too ornate and too hard to read. This paragraph is Times Roman, an effective typeface for text in the body of technical documents. This paragraph is Tahoma, which has a modern, high- tech look. It is best suited for headings and titles in technical documents. Chapter 11. Designing Documents and Web Sites © 2012 by Bedford/St. Martin's 14

Case affects readability: Lowercase letters are easier to read: Individual variations are greater in lowercase words THAN THEY ARE IN UPPERCASE WORDS. Chapter 11. Designing Documents and Web Sites © 2012 by Bedford/St. Martin's 15

Summary of PowerPoint Design Keep the text short. Keep the background simple. Use contrasting colors to make text legible. Be purposeful about the position of text and graphics.
