14. Tips to be Covered Outlines Slide Structure Fonts Color Background Graphs Spelling and Grammar Conclusions Questions

15. Outline Title slide Introduce each team member and identify their part in the program Make 2 nd slide an outline of your presentation Ex: previous slide Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation Only place main points on the outline slide Ex: Use the titles of each slide as main points Maybe – depends upon length of title

16. Slide Structure – Good 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation point form, not complete sentences 4-5 points per slide Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only

17. Slide Structure - Bad This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

18. Slide Structure – Good Show one point at a time: Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying Will prevent audience from reading ahead Will help you keep your presentation focused

19. Slide Structure – Good Show one point at a time: Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying Will prevent audience from reading ahead Will help you keep your presentation focused

20. Slide Structure - Bad Do not use distracting animation Do not go overboard with the animation Be consistent with the animation that you use

21. Fonts - Good Use at least an 18-point font Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points this font is 24-point, the main point font is 28-point, and the title font is 36-point Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial

22. Fonts - Bad If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ Don’t use a complicated font

23. Color - Good Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with the background Ex: blue font on white background Use color to reinforce the logic of your structure Ex: light blue title and dark blue text Use color to emphasize a point But only use this occasionally

24. Color - Bad Using a font color that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read Using color for decoration is distracting and annoying. Using a different color for each point is unnecessary Using a different color for secondary points is also unnecessary Trying to be creative can also be bad

25. Background - Good Use backgrounds such as this one that are attractive but simple Use backgrounds which are light Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation

26. Background – Bad Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from Always be consistent with the background that you use

27. Graphs - Good Use graphs rather than just charts and words Data in graphs are easier to comprehend & retain than is raw data Trends are easier to visualize in graph form Always title your graphs

28. Graphs - Bad

29. Graphs - Good

32. Graphs - Bad

33. Minor gridlines are unnecessary Font is too small Colors are illogical Title is missing Shading is distracting

34. Spelling and Grammar Proof your slides for: speling mistakes the use of of repeated words grammatical errors you might have make don’t rely on spellcheck

35. Say what???? “I am seeking a job in public relations.” “I am seeking a job in pubic relations.”

36. Conclusion Use an effective and strong closing Your audience is likely to remember your last words Use a conclusion slide to: Summarize the main points of your presentation Suggest future avenues of research

37. Questions?? End your presentation with a simple question slide to: Invite your audience to ask questions Provide a visual aid during question period Avoid ending a presentation abruptly
