Plan and Practice Before making a
PowerPoint: Write a script Conduct research Have the PP flow
from start to finish
Practice: Take time at home
to recite the PP to yourself or a friend
Proofread and look for dull moments to avoid them when giving the presentation

Limit Writing; Use Visuals
Avoid paragraphs Large font enhances the point No one wants to read a big block of text
Pictures help visualize the message Clip Art and Graphics attract the audience

Colors and Themes Use contrasting colors to make the text
stand out Use and customize design templates Use images and WordArt that
coordinate with the color scheme

Text Guidelines Use large font that stands out Keep a basic, consistent font style Do not use fancy font that will distract
the audience from the topic Don’t center the text, that makes it
harder to read

Keep it simple
