Tips for Creating an Effective Presentation

  1. Minimize the numbers of your slides
    To maintain a clear message and to keep your audience attentive and interested, keep the number of slides in your presentation to a minimum.
  2. Customize a font size that your audience can read from a distance
    Choosing the right font style, such as Helvetica or Arial, helps to get your message across.
    Avoid narrow fonts, such as Arial Narrow, and avoid fonts that include fancy edges, such as Times.
  3. Choosing the right font size helps to get your message across.
    A one-inch letter is readable from 10 feet.
    A two-inch letter is readable from 20 feet.
    A three-inch letter is readable from 30 feet.
    To learn more about how you can use pre-designed theme fonts in your presentation.
  4. Make your content short & informative
    Use bullets or short sentences and try to keep each to one line; that is, without text wrapping.
    You want your audience to listen to you present your information, rather than read the screen.
    Some projectors crop slides at the edges, so long sentences may be cropped.
  5. Use high quality graphics
    Use graphics to help tell your story.
    Don't overwhelm your audience by adding too many graphics to a slide.
  6. Use appropriate charts
    Use only enough text to make label elements in a chart or graph comprehensible.
  7. Make your slides simple and keep the consistency
  8. Use high contrast between background color & text color
    Themes automatically set the contrast between a light background with dark colored text or dark background with light colored text.
  9. Check the spelling & grammar
    To earn and maintain the respect of your audience, always check the spelling and grammar in your presentation.

Tips for Presenting an Effective Presentation

  1. Show up early & verify that your equipment works properly
    Make sure that all equipment is connected and running.

  2. Don’t assume that your presentation will work fine on another computer
    Disk failures, software version mismatches, lack of disk space, low memory, and many other factors can ruin a presentation.
    Turn off screen savers, and make sure that you have the appropriate files and versions of software that you need, including Microsoft Office Powerpoint.

  3. Verify that the projector’s resolution is the same as the computer on which you created your presentation
    If the resolutions don't match, your slides may be cropped, or other display problems can occur.

  4. Turn your screen saver off
    Keep your audience focused on the content of your presentation.

  5. Check all colors on a projector screen before giving an actual presentation
    The colors may project differently than what appears on your monitor.

  6. Ask your audience to hold questions until the end
    Questions are an excellent indicator that people are engaged by your subject matter and presentation skills.
    But if you save questions until the end of the presentation, you will get through your material uninterrupted.

  7. Avoid moving the pointer unconsciously
    When you are not using the pointer, remove your hand from the mouse. This helps to stop you from moving the pointer unconsciously, which can be distracting.

  8. Do not read the whole presentation
    Practice the presentation so that you can speak from bullet points.
    The text should be a cue for the presenter rather than the full message for the audience.

  9. Practice your presentation
    Practicing the presentation is important because it helps a speaker eliminate speaking flaws, overcome nervousness, address the nuances of the presentation space, and make any necessary adjustments.

    1. Monitor your audiences’ behavior
      Each time that you deliver a presentation, monitor your audience's behavior.
      If you observe people focusing on your slides, the slides may contain too much data or be confusing or distracting in some other way.
