6. Do’s and Don’ts Get to know your audience. Realise “Content is King”.
The most vital parts you should consider prior to every presentation:
Get to know your audience.
Knowing your audience will help you develop directions in which you take your content.
Realise “Content is King”.
It would be more acceptable to watch a presentation with a simple white background and black Arial with a clear, concise message, than the slickest PowerPoint with all the bells but with no clear message.

7. Text and Font 1
Do’s
Font size should range between 18 to 48 (according to importance)
Use fonts that are easy to read, such as Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman etc.
Use not more than three/3 fonts at a time.
Use uppercase letters for the first letter
Leave space between the lines of text

8. Text and Font
Don’ts
Don't include too many details and data (no more than 7 words to a line and 7 lines to a slide)
Don't crowd the information – [audience tend to end up trying to read and not paying attention]
DON’T USE ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS (THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO READ AND WILL APPEAR TO YOUR AUDIENCE THAT YOU ARE YELLING)
Don't use abbreviations or short forms.

9. Sound Effects 2 Do’s Don’ts
Use sounds to help convey, complement, or enhance the message
Don’ts
Don't use sounds when they aren't appropriate
Sounds can be distracting and can make your presentation less effective

10. Colour 3 Do’s Limit the use of colour to 2 to 4 colours
Use colours that will stand out and will be easy on the eyes (dark backgrounds and light text is best)
Remember, the colours projected from a data projector may look different than the colours on your computer screen

11. Colour
Don’ts
Don't use multiple colour schemes [stick to one/two colour per presentation – not per slides]
Don't use dark colours on a dark background (red, blue, and black should not be used together as text and background)
Don’t use colour that convey wrong messages.
[Cool and Refreshing]

12. Images and Shapes 4
Do’s
Use images and shapes only to make a point not to make your presentation more interesting – use content to do that.
Only include 1 to 2 images per slide

13. Images and Shapes Don’ts
Don't use too many graphics (can be VERY distracting, look less professional, and look like a show off)
Don't use low-quality images and images that are too small.

14. Technology Tips 5 Transitions Do’s
Use transitions to help your presentation make more of an impact by varying the way one slide replaces another
Keep transitions to a minimum [two maximum]
Use the same transition or a variation of the transition

15. Technology Tips Transitions Don’ts
Avoid flashy transitions (too much movement will distract your audience)
Avoid using random slide transitions

16. Contrast 6

17. Saving Your Works 7 Do’s Don’ts Save your work frequently (Ctrl+S)
Backup your work frequently (every day, if possible)
Store each presentation and its associated files in its proper folder
Don’ts
Rely on the program's Auto save feature.

18. Practice Your Presentation8
Do’s
Use a data projector to view your presentation:
Is it easy to read the text?
Is the amount of information on each slide kept to a minimum?
Are there any distracting elements?
Ask others for feedback

19. Practice Your Presentation
Don’ts
Don't leave all the lights on in the room (be sure people can actually see the screen)

20. Handouts 9
Distribute handouts at the end – not during or prior to presentation.
No speaker wants to be chatting to a crowd that busy reading a summation of her/his remarks.
