8. Don’t put every word on slide Keep slides simple Long,

   complex slides take time to read The more the audience reads, the less they listen Spellcheck everything

9. Avoid Excessive bullet pointing Maximum 4-5 bullet points Maximum three

   levels of indentation, two is better

10. Understand the color wheel Use high-quality, simple themes Event or

    employer may provide theme
11. None

12. Keep graphs and charts simple If you can’t, use “builder”

    slides

13. Don’t over use animation and transitions Animation may be needed

    to: Emphasize a point Complex diagrams Fade transition is probably best

14. No smaller than 24 point font Clean, easy to read

    fonts Use sans-serif rather than serif font Font color should contrast with background

15. • Two Basic Slide Types • Show Whole Slide At

    Once • Prompts to keep you on track • Reveal Technique • Show one bullet point at a time • Summarize what you’re going to say • Keeps audience from reading ahead

    it Back row can’t see bottom of slide. Only use top 75% of slide
