Background Choose your background colour carefully and keep it consistent through the whole show.

For Each Slide Have a heading A picture Two or three points

Lists When you have a list of information Reveal them one by one Not all at once Keep the animations simple Not like those!

Do not do this! Do not write very long paragraphs when you are creating a powerpoint presentation because they are difficult to read and do not look good on the screen. Besides, the information you give on a powerpoint presentation should be precise and to the point. You should not ramble on so that your audience gets bored!

Lists When you create lists: Keep the list to three or four points Do not add five or six points Avoid making sub lists like this: Sub lists are not desirable They make the presentation too long
