Editor's Notes
- #3: Having unnecessary clutter that doesn’t contribute to the main point of the message behind your slide in a significant way is bad. It’s better to just leave the space clean so that your audience can focus on the main point of the slide.
- #4: Your slides should be a representation of what you are talking about, not what you are saying. Therefore, bullet points are unhelpful in most cases.
- #5: Animations can make the slide boring, or enduring, and especially with long presentations, you will lose your audience after a short.
- #6: Don’t use the clipart images that come with any of the software. Using High Quality images keeps your audience engaged and keeps you professional.
- #7: Have a theme, but don’t use powerpoint templates for your presentation.
- #8: Only use charts if the data is pertinent to the point behind your slide.
- #9: Colors keep your audience engaged. Cool colors are good for the background, while Warm colors are good for the foreground.
- #10: Using good fonts not only makes your presentation clear, but also professional.
- #11: Audio or Video sends your point across better and makes it easier for your audience to learn. Avoid cheesy sound effects.
- #12: According to the Segmentation Principle of multimedia learning theory, people comprehend better when information is presented in small chunks or segments. By using Slide Sorter, you can view the logical flow of your presentation.
