Session 3 ▪ PowerPoint I have purposely broken some of
my own advice so you can see the effect of doing it wrong.
None

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
Avoid Excessive bullet pointing Maximum 4-5 bullet points Maximum three
levels of indentation, two is better
Understand the color wheel Use high-quality, simple themes Event or
employer may provide theme
None
Keep graphs and charts simple If you can’t, use “builder”
slides
Don’t over use animation and transitions Animation may be needed
to: Emphasize a point Complex diagrams Fade transition is probably best
No smaller than 24 point font Clean, easy to read
fonts Use sans-serif rather than serif font Font color should contrast with background
• 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
Images add impact If it’s on the slide, talk about
it Back row can’t see bottom of slide. Only use top 75% of slide
Give your slides the billboard test
