DESIGNING A GOOD PRESENTATIONTHE DOS AND DONTS

HERE ARE A FEW STEPS TO MAKINGYOUR OWN PRESENTATION

Select or create your own theme

FONT SIZE

This is Arial 12This is Arial 18This is Arial 24This is Arial 32This is Arial 36This is Arial 44

Choose a standard (common) font like Times New Roman or Arial.

This is too small

Avoid!!!!!!!Using small font, because your audience won’t be able to read what you have written.

The “too big size font”, it wastes your slide space.CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ.

Don’t use a complicated font.

Test the font by........

Looking at it from 2 metres away

Use uniform font faces for Headings/Titles throughout the presentation

Use italics and bold to emphasize the text.Use colours that contrast the background.

DONT....use over-decorative fonts such as Chiller or

Old English Text.

NOTE

USE A COLOUR SCHEME Use good colour

scheme

Use font color that contrasts sharply with the background

These colours contrast

These colours don’t contrast

These colours don’t contrast

These colours contrast (harder to read?)

These colours contrast (harder to read?)

Using a font color that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read.

Using color for decoration is distracting and annoying.

Using a different color for each point is unnecessary

Same for secondary points

BACKGROUND SCHEME

Use a plain background (either white or black) and then pick a nice font in

two complimentary colours.

Are simple. Present your message nicely

Are consistent throughout your presentation.

GOOD BACKGROUNDS

BadBackground

Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read.

Always be consistent with the background that you use

STYLE

Or they start

your presentation should move & inspirePeople
