Graphics
• Images should be: – Meaningful – Clear and professional– Limited in number– Subdued if background
• Animation– For emphasis
![Page 13: Effective PowerPoint Presentations](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/568146c2550346895db3f7d1/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

• Beware of file sizes [compressed (.jpg, .gif) vs. uncompressed image files (.bmp)]– Ensure transportability
• Photos– Bitmap in background or foreground– Resolution affects file size, transition speed
• Lower resolution = smaller file size

Planning: What, How, Who, Where
• Consider your message
• Pick the best tools• Know your
audience• Know your
environment

Preparation• Use slides as emphasis for key points
– Don’t read off the screen– Use outlines, flowcharts, graphs, and cue slides to
emphasize main points– Use slides as prompts, outlines, or conversation points, not
cue cards
• Use handouts to reinforce your presentation– Make sure the sequence of printed slides and supplemental
materials matches the sequence of your presentation– Introduce information in handouts that has not been
covered during presentation• People won’t look at appendices, etc. unless you point them
out• Hand out additional materials at the end of your presentation,
otherwise people will read them while you are speaking
