This document provides tips for creating effective PowerPoint presentations. It recommends that bullets be aligned on the left for readability. Background elements should not distract from the text. Simple, consistent fonts work best without all caps or gimmicky styles. Color should be used sparingly and only to emphasize key points, not decorate slides or distinguish every bullet point. Presenters should check for spelling, grammar, and repetitive wording errors. The closing slide is important and audiences appreciate a thank you. Effective PowerPoint avoids distracting elements and focuses on clearly communicating the intended message through simple, consistent design choices.
