2. Effective Presentations By Peter Tomasovitch

3. PowerPoint TM Presentations Use High Contrast Between Background and Text Limit Animations Use Photos and Clipart Sparingly

4. Evaluate The Following Samples Look for Use or Overuse of –Color/Contrast –Photos/Clipart –Animation/Sounds

5. Poor Color Contrast You probably can’t read this Maybe you can, but it might hurt Why do we try to read this? Pay attention to me and stop struggling to see what this says

6. Photos and Clipart Utilize a Graphics Team or Dept. Don’t Use a Photo Just to Use a Photo Text May Be Hard to Read on a Photograph Use Relevant Images/Clipart

7. Animation/Sounds Watch As the Text Rolls In Slip Slides Along Zips All Around Maybe This Is Too Much Suggest Limiting to the Intro Slide

8. Conclusion Effective Presentations Start With the Presenter Just Because You Can Use Sound and Visuals Doesn’t Mean You Have To Have a Printed Back-up of Your Show
