5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 4 Simplicity Is Your Friend Content (and speaker) is center stage Draw attention to presentation, not special effects – Text, graphics and background – Sound Colors Consistency - slides, bullets, fonts

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 5 Lots of White Space Too much filler will overwhelm the viewer Makes your eyes tired – You won’t bother to read it If you have a lot of information to share in a slide, consider either using PowerPoint to display the point and you discuss it, or break things up in to several slides You need a place for the viewer to focus on as you discuss a point - otherwise, he or she could just read it themselves...

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 6 Lots of White Don’t want to overwhelm audience Place for focus Keep things short Break up into several slides

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 7 Organized Audience feels movement to a conclusion Easy to see progress Pace of slides (rehearse) Too fast, exhausts them Too slow, put them to sleep

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 8 Path for the Eye Oh, boy, another class… Confusing PowerPoint Presentation I survived …  This versus This (nothing dominant)  class… Oh, boy, another I feel so informed!

Colors for Presenting Maintain a consistent color scheme throughout the presentation Be conservative Too many colors only confuse, distract, and “cheapen” the presentation Contrast between background and foreground Lettering is more important 5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 14

Colors for Presenting Keep background simple Consider the people who have major problems Green and reds should not be placed adjacent to each other Example: Do not use green background with red lettering or place green beside red on a pie chart 5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 15

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 16 Typography - Font (44 pt) Smallest font points (32 pt) Large for emphasis: Titles Simple fonts - Arial, times Avoid script Limit: 1 or 2 fonts No more than 3 sizes

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 17 Typography - Style Don’t hyphen- ate Errors: check, recheck, someone proof Avoid italics – least likely to be read

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 18 Typography - UPPER CASE DON’T USE ALL CAPITALS FOR LARGE BLOCKS OF TEXT. READERS READ FASTEST WHEN SENTENCES ARE PRINTED IN UPPER AND LOWER CASE - THE WAY THEY NORMALLY ARE SEEN IN PRINT. HEADLINES ARE IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE READER TO SLOW DOWN, GIVING EMPHASIS TO A FEW WORDS.

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 19 Typography - Title Case Don’t Use All Caps for Large Blocks of Text. Readers Read Fastest When Sentences Are Printed in Upper and Lower Case - The Way They Normally Are Seen in Print. Headlines Are in All Caps Because It Requires the Reader to Slow Down, Giving Emphasis to a Few Words.

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 20 Typography - Sentence Case Don’t use all caps Readers read fastest when Sentences are upper and lower case The way they normally are seen in print Headlines are in all caps It requires the reader to slow down

5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 21 Content Only the essence Few words Items in order No extraneous data you’ll ignore Relate graphics to content

Text Avoid long line of text Avoid too many lines of text Use phrases instead of complete sentences Avoid small text Remember the 6 x 6 rule No more than 6 lines, no more than 6 words per slide (bulleted items) 5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 22

Bulleted Text Do not use a single bullet on one slide or use more than five bullets per slide Do not use more than two levels of bullets Use consistent wording 5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 23

Clipart Use clipart that relates to the content and does not distract from the message Avoid temptation to “jazz up” a slide show with TOO much clipart 5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 24

Charts Keep charts simple Pie charts with three or four slices and column charts with three or four columns Only use charts if they enhance your slideshow 5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 25

Special Effects Transitions and special effects should be used sparingly Be sure to practice the presentation and if you find yourself waiting on things to appear, take out the transitions and special effects 5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 26

Final Slide Final slide should provide a conclusion, summary or recommendation Show be obvious that it is your ending slide No put “The End” on the final slide Provide some form of handout so your audience can keep track of the presentation 5/2/2015Hale - Huff - Patience 27
