Make sure that your Mentor has reviewed your poster before you have it printed.

What hooked me? What did I get from a good presentation? Could I have gotten the basic message if the
presenter had not been there?

Making PowerPoint Slides
Avoiding the Pitfalls of Bad Slides
![Page 22: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

Tips to be Covered Outlines Slide Structure Fonts Colour Background Graphs Spelling and Grammar Conclusions Questions
![Page 23: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
23
Outline Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your
presentation– Ex: previous slide
Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation
Only place main points on the outline slide– Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points
![Page 24: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24
Slide Structure – Good
Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation Write in point form, not complete sentences Include 4-5 points per slide Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only
![Page 25: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25
Slide Structure - Bad 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 26: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
26
Slide Structure – Good Show one point at a time:
» Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying
» Will prevent audience from reading ahead
» Will help you keep your presentation focused
![Page 27: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Slide Structure - Bad
Do not use distracting animation
Do not go overboard with the animation
Be consistent with the animation that you use
![Page 28: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Fonts - Good Use at least an 18-point font
Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points
– Main pt is 26, and the this font is 22 Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial
![Page 29: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Fonts - Bad If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ
Don’t use a complicated font
![Page 30: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Colour - Good
Use a colour of font that contrasts sharply with the background– Ex: blue font on white background
Use colour to reinforce the logic of your structure– Ex: bold blue title and dark blue text
Use colour to emphasize a point– But only use this occasionally
![Page 31: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
31
Colour - Bad Using a font colour that does not contrast with the
background colour is hard to read 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 32: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
32
Background - Good Use backgrounds such as this one that are
attractive but simple
Use backgrounds which are light
Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation
![Page 33: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
33
Background – Bad
Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from
Always be consistent with the background that you use
![Page 34: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
34
Graphs - Good Use graphs rather than just charts and words
– Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain than is raw data
– Trends are easier to visualize in graph form Always title your graphs
![Page 35: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)

Graphs - Bad
Minor gridlines are unnecessary Font is too small Colours are illogical Title is missing Shading is distracting

40
Conclusion Use an effective and strong closing
– Your audience is likely to remember your last words
Use a conclusion slide to:– Summarize the main points of your presentation– Suggest future avenues of research
![Page 41: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
41
Questions?? End your presentation with a simple question slide
to:– Invite your audience to ask questions– Provide a visual aid during question period– Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
![Page 42: Sabc presentation tips april 2011](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022061222/54bfb5174a79595f7c8b46d7/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
