…then he said, “I can’t feel my legs” and then I said, “Stay with me Joe!” But it was too late. He was gone. It was the PowerPoint.

Do you need PowerPoint?Do you need PowerPoint?
• Consider the type of presentation:– Lecture– Discussion
• Don’t make your presentation PowerPointless
![Page 6: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
The outlineThe outline
• 1st or 2nd slide should have an outline
• Follow outline for your presentation
• Place main points on outline slide
![Page 7: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Slide layout Slide layout
• Use point form, not complete sentences
• Maximum of six points per slide
• Avoid wordiness: key words only
![Page 8: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Slide layoutSlide layout
This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.
![Page 9: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Slide layoutSlide layout
• Showing one point at a time will:
– focus attention on one point
– prevent reading ahead
– help keep your presentation focused
![Page 10: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Slide layoutSlide layout
• Do not use distracting animation
• Do not go overboard with the animation
• Use consistent animation
![Page 11: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Slide layoutSlide layout
• Slide transitions should not be distracting
• Be consistent with transitions – never Random
• Worst effects –
‘Checkerboard or Comb’
![Page 12: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Fonts – goodFonts – good
• Use different size to show hierarchy
– the title font is 36-point
– the main point font is 28-point
– this font is 24-point
• Use a standard font like Arial– Use at least an 18-point font and Bold
![Page 13: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Fonts - badFonts - bad
• If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
• CAPITALISE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS
DIFFICULT TO READ AND LOOKS LIKE YOU
ARE SHOUTING.
• Don’t use a complicated font
![Page 14: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Spacing - badSpacing - bad
• If you have a set of points• space them out on the slide• rather than in one corner
![Page 15: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Spacing - goodSpacing - good
• If you have a set of points
• space them out on the slide
• rather than in one corner

Colour - goodColour - good
• Use a font colour that contrasts sharply with the background
• Use colour to reinforce the logic of your structure
• Use colour to emphasise a point– But only use this occasionally
![Page 17: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Colour - badColour - bad
• Don’t use non-contrasting font colours • Using colour for decoration is distracting
and annoying• Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary– Using a different colour for secondary
points is also unnecessary
• Trying to be creative can also be bad
![Page 18: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Background - goodBackground - good
• Use a simple background
• Use backgrounds that contrast with text/imagery
• Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation
![Page 19: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Background – badBackground – bad
• Avoid backgrounds that are
distracting or difficult to read from
• Always be consistent with the
background that you use
![Page 20: Chapter 2 developing power point pres](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062418/55520790b4c905852b8b4ca2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
GraphsGraphs
• Use graphs rather than just charts and words– Data in graphs is easier to comprehend and
retain than raw data– Trends are easier to visualise in graph form
• Always title your graphs
