Why write with PowerPoint?
• To supplement an oral presentation
• To incorporate visual and audio mediainto a presentation
• To disseminate information to a larger group
Before You Start
• Audience– Who is your audience? What is your relationship with
them?
• Purpose– Are you informing? Arguing?
• Occasion– Is this a professional presentation? Are you at a
conference, at a meeting, in a classroom?
• Ethos– How do you want the audience to perceive you? Are
you representing a business or organization?
View Options
• Normal View– Add and develop text and content– Manipulate individual slides
• Slide Sorter View– View and change organization– Move and hide slides
• Slide Show View– View overall development– Give completed presentation
A Closer Look at Normal View
• Create new slides
• Add and edit text and content
• Compose facilitator notes
Custom Design Considerations
• Simplicity– Moderate color palette– Clear, unadorned fonts
• Consistency– Color and background
graphics– Font style and sizes
Choosing a Design Template
• Avoid templates with themes that don’t fit your information
• If your content includes images, avoid templates with large background graphics
• Streamlined templates with minimal background graphics present a professional image
Text & Content
• Text– Facilitates presentation– Reinforces key terms and concepts
• Images– Complement presentation– Illustrate or highlight main points
• Tables and Graphs– Support presentation– Present information in a visually appealing way
Text Considerations
• Keep text to a minimum
• Use “white space” to set off blocks of text
• Make phrase structure consistent within bulleted lists
Content Considerations
• Keep content to a minimum
• Use white space to set off visual content from text
• Choose appropriate images

• Distracting when used to excess
