How to make a good power point presentation
- 1. HOW TO MAKE A GOOD POWER POINT PRESENTATION
- 2. ORGANIZATION Have a very clear introduction, to arise interest and to present the topic of your presentation Don't put all the details in the talk. Present only the important ones. Use only one idea per slide. Have a good conclusion slide: put there the main ideas, the ones you really want people to remember. Use only one "conclusion" slide.
- 3. MECHANICS Use a good presentation-building tool.Good looks are important The more you rehearse the talk, the better it will be. A rehearsal is most useful when carried out loud Not everything has to be written down; speech can and should complement the information on the slides. Be enthusiastic.
- 4. TEXT Slides should have short titles All the text on one slide should have the same structure (e.g. complete phrases, idea only, etc.). Put very little text on a slide; avoid text completely if you can. Put no more than one idea per slide .If you have lots of text, people will read it faster than you talk, and will not pay attention to what you say. Spell-check. A spelling mistake is an attention magnet
- 5. ILLUSTRATIONS Do not "waste" information by using unnecessary colors. Each different color should signify something different, and something important. Color-code your information if you can, but don't use too many different colors. Have high-contrast colors. A few real photos related to your subject look very cool. Sometimes a matte pastel background looks much better than a white one. Exploit animation with restraint. Do not use fancy animation effects if not necessary. Use strong colors for important stuff, pastel colors for the unimportant. Real photos are much more effective during the core of the talk than during the intro. If you start your talk with a nice picture during the introduction and next only text; you open your audience’s appetite and then leave them hungry.
