Slide Design Tips: Presentation Vs. Handout Slides Elena Andreyeva, LMSU Business School

Types Of Slides visuals for a presentation to deliver handouts to give away slideshow to

The Presentation You Deliver: Slides Verbal Design Keep your text to a minimum Use key phrases only Include 4-5 points per slide Use max. 6 words in a line Be consistent with Grammar you use

The Presentation You Deliver: Slides Visual Design Use same style titles, fonts, backgrounds Use colour to emphasize Make sure your text is legible Use animation sparingly and consistently Use pictures to enhance your message

Slides As Handouts Add detailed notes to slides Notes should be complete sentences, not just bullets or key words Make your handout stand-alone It should make sense to the people who were not at your presentation Provide white space Some people like to take notes during a presentation

Sample Handout "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."

Slides To Include text, not key words and phrases The slide is intended to be read, not presented Make your slideshow stand-alone The message and take-away should be clear to people who read from the slides Remember that images, videos etc make ing your slideshow clumsy
