1. APPROPRIATE TYPE SIZE, TYPEFACE AND VISUAL AIDS By: Sally Allgeier

2. TIP #1-PLAN PRESENTATION BEFORE CREATING VISUAL AIDS Find out what you want your audience to know Create visual aid to go along with that

3. TIP #2- USE VISUAL AIDS SPARINGLY They are an aid to your presentation not whole thing Highlight Key points

4. TIP #3-MAKE THEM VISIBLE TO THE WHOLE AUDIENCE Make the image big enough on the screen so the whole room can see

5. TIP #4- TALK TO THE AUDIENCE Don’t talk to the screen Eye contact Don’t turn your back

6. TIP #5- AVOID LASER POINTERS Not needed at all Slide should be easy enough to follow without it

7. PICTURES & VIDEOS Less is best Don’t fill page Only what is necessary

8. TIP #6- EXPLAIN RIGHT AWAY Once you show an audience something, that’s where their heads are Once you are ready to change subjects then flip sides

9. TEXT SIZE Title 40pt font or bigger Subtitles 28pt to 32pt font Depending on how much you have on the slide

10. FONT Distracting to use a wide variety Something easy to read from front of room to back of room To much is a bad thing Little is better Reading slides=not listening to you talk Use pictures, charts and graphs over text any day
