29. WHAT NOT TO DO WITH POWERPOINT

30. Bad PowerPoint There is Good and Bad Power point A sure sign of bad powerpoint presentations are sentences than seem to drag on forever and ever, and ever. You do not want to go over 7 sentences per slide. Most people can read, and consequently do not like to be read to.

31. What to do Use short simple phrases Use normal case 4-5 lines of text per slide

32. I cant read a darn thing Matthew Barnaby is getting whipped I wish I could read this Beware of bad backgrounds

33. Bad Bullet Usage Bullets are good for accentuating points Only key points deserve to have their own bullets Too many bullets crowd slides They make it difficult to read the slide Key points get lost in the mess Too many bullet’s makes it seem like you are reading to the audience Additional bullets force Powerpoint to cut font size.

34. Pick the right colors Dark text should not be with dark backgrounds

35. Death to Clip Art Horses make good glue. This is still useless clip art

36. Small Text is useless as are exotic fonts Stay away from small fonts Also stay away from unique fonts Title Should Be 36-44 pt Subtitle 28-32 pt Text no smaller than 24

37. Transitions The Happy days effect

38. Remember The goal is to add to your presentation The audience should focus on you, not your slides Don’t read to us!
