What NOT to do in a PowerPoint presentation so in other words, How to avoid Death by Powerpoint!

DO NOT cram slides with too much detail Nobody is excited to see an Excel spreadsheet on a slide / An image speaks a thousand words!

Another thing people really hate abut PowerPoint presentations is when the speaker reads out EVERY SINGLE word of the slide. I mean, they could have just sent the presentation through using an email or produced a speech instead. It probably would have been more interesting and if it wasn’t, at least the audience could fall asleep without feeling guilty. Reading off the slide also carries the risk that your audience will get bored and stop listening before you even finish..

..your first slide.

Don’t use too many animations! they just cause motion sickness.

DO NOT use many awful colours it will only blind your audience

DO NOT use funky fonts You want your audience to be able to understand what is on your slide And not get scared!

DO NOT use pointless art clips for filling up space It’s just not needed!

Don’t The Just Ever Slide, Think No Do It’s One Okay Bothers Ever. To Bullet Read Doesn’t Point Them Make Everything. Ever! Information If And Any There It Easier Is Does Too Not Many Look Or Good, Follow. Points At On All!

DO NOT use fonts smaller than 36pt for headings and 20pt for text. It’s hard to read, isn’t it? and it could have been something important!
