SMP’s, Strategies & Projects Niall Hall, Lower Severn Area Title Slides Your audience needs to know who you are and what you are going to talk about. Give your presentation an opening slide showing the title of your presentation, your name and position or job title. Keep it simple. Your audience is far more likely to be distracted at the start of the presentation, when they are still settling down. Job titles should be kept to a single phrase - ‘Managing Director’ or ‘Events Manager’ - and qualifications used only if they are strictly relevant to your audience or presentation. Your closing slide should mirror the opening one, showing the title of the presentation and any contact details, if those are relevant. You can duplicate blank title slides, either by holding down Ctrl and click-dragging into the desired position in Slide Sorter mode (View - Slide Sorter), or by using Insert - New Slide - Title Slide.

Graphics Slides Graphs, tables and photographs can give focus, colour and interest to your presentation - if used sparingly. Do not mix graphics and explanatory text on the same slide - anything which distracts from the main focus, or reduces the space available for the graphic element should be avoided. Generally, photographs should be shown in full screen and any graphs originated within PowerPoint rather than pasted in from elsewhere. In all cases, keep detail to the absolute minimum needed to show a trend or movement. In all slides using graphics, you should make every effort to preserve the dynamic white border at upper, left and lower edges of slide. This version of the slide template, without horizon, should only be used for graphics and not for text.

How does the strategy approach fit in with “Making Space for Water”? Making space for water supports the idea of whole catchment and whole shoreline strategy approach Text Slides Use bullet points to give emphasis to what you are saying - not to duplicate it. Keep them simple. Use a maximum of 6 bullet points or sub points per slide. The font and point sizes have been set in these masters at 28 for body copy and 36 for headlines. These should not be altered under any circumstances - in any event, anything less than 28 point will not be legible once projected. Slide transitions and effects should be kept simple and to a minimum. Audio-visual aids are there to support and emphasise the key points of what you are saying, not distract your audience by flying across the screen in multi-colours complete with bells and whistles sound effects. Remember - slides are a visual aid to presentation, not an end in themselves.They can enhance a good presentation, but will not rescue a boring or badly-planned one. When using bullet points it is better to reveal them one by one, as you speak to the points, rather than to bring everything up on screen at once. Again, you want your audience to listen to what you are saying now - not what you are going to say in two minutes. Likewise - if you are using handouts, keep them until the end of your presentation.

In all slides using graphics, you should make every effort to preserve the dynamic white border at upper, left and lower edges of slide. Don’t overdo it. The audience has come to hear you speak, not to see how clever your presentation is. Any element - graphic or otherwise - becomes boring if it is over-used.
