10 TipsFor Better Power Point Presentations…
#1
• Your first step is to research thoroughly and write your speech. Become an EXPERT on your topic.
• Only when this is complete should you start constructing your presentation.
#2
• The Power Point slideshow is NOT the focus of the presentation.
• It is there to support YOU, the presenter.
#3
• Never, never ever, ever just read directly from your slides!
• Know your topic – use the slides as prompts for yourself that emphasise key points to your audience.
#4
• Don’t overload your slides with information
#4b
• An extra slide costs nothing
#5
• Make use of visuals!
• Pictures!
• Graphs!
• Diagrams!
#5b
• Use High-Quality Pictures – if it’s pixilated, don’t use it.
• Use simple diagrams and graphs – don’t use diagrams that are overloaded with data and information – simple, clean lines are best.
#6
• Don’t go over-the-top with Colours, Fonts or Animations.
• Choose a theme and stick to it.
#7
• Use a large Font size
• Nothing below 25point
• Make sure your text can be read easily
• Don’t use background colours that interfere with the delivery of your message.
#8
• Make sure everything works!
• If you have a video or website to show, make sure the connections work on the equipment you’ll be using during your presentation.
• Nothing worse than a video that won’t play at the crucial moment
#9
• Mind the Time
• Don’t ramble or go off-book
• Don’t speak too fast.
#10
• Practice! Practice! Practice!
• You can’t practice too much – The more you practice the better you’ll know your topic and you present more effectively.
• Read it out loud to the mirror, to your mum, to the cat…
• Learn it, so you can speak it, without sounding like you’re saying it by rote.
