Effective PowerPoint Presentations It is easy to make a PowerPoint slide show; however, harder to make an effective presentation
3
Why Use PowerPoint Overhead Transparencies will not work anymore in large auditoriums.
4
Effective PowerPoint Presentations If your presentation is meaningful it will determine if your audience will go to sleep or be involved in what you are saying.
5
Color Scheme Light text on a dark background is most effective. As long as you stick to this just make sure that your colors are pleasing. Only change the scheme on certain slides that you want to emphasize.
6
Too Much Information! Your PowerPoint presentation is an aid not the presentation in itself. If you have a slide with more than five bullets include them in a new slide. Make just major points with bullets your audience cannot read too much information from a slide, consider using handouts! Never read from your presentation.
7
Clip Art Use clip art to help make your points without having to explain them! Be careful with animated gifs that might take away from what you are saying! Try not to use the same clips several times in your presentation.
8
Backgrounds Try to customize your presentations by changing the color schemes, and making custom backgrounds.
9
Technology WWWWhen you use transitions, sounds, and custom animation use it sparingly. RRRRemember sound from your laptop may not have enough volume for everyone to hear it. RRRRemember some animation makes text harder to read. TTTThere is nothing better than a presentation that is done professionally with only limited effects
10
Empty Space Use it! Empty Space adds impact!
11
Why are you doing this presentation? Start with the end in mind. Why are you speaking to, what are you trying to accomplish!
12
Hints For A Successful Presentation Plan carefully Do your research Know your audience Time your presentation Practice your presentation Speak comfortably and clearly

Text Guidelines Generally no more than 6 words a line Avoid long sentences Larger fonts indicate more important information Be sure text contrast with background Fancy fonts can be hard to read WORDS IN ALL CAPITAL LETTER ARE HARD TO READ
15
Clip Art and Graphics Should balance the slide Should enhance and complement the text not overwhelm or take away from it. No more than two graphics per slide.
