But…
10
Sometimes PowerPoint is unavoidable.
11
For example, this presentation against using PowerPoint, actually IS a PowerPoint. Ironic.
12
If you still insist on using PowerPoint (or if your teacher still insists you use it) at least make it interesting.
13
Simple Design Rules: One Point Per Slide Few Matching Colors Very Few Fonts Avoid too many bullets Photos, not clipart
14
Less Text. More Imagery. BOLD Imagery.
15
High Quality (Copyright Free) Images
16
when it comes to text.
17
Most People Speak at 150 words per minute. Most people READ at 250 words per minute. So chances are, if you have too much on a slide, they are reading ahead and not paying attention to you.
18
Ditch the Bullet Points Too Many Bullets Makes Things Boring And Too Hard To Follow
19
Avoid Bad Color Schemes That make it hard to read and Are Distracting And just don’t look nice.
