Creating an Effective
Presentation
Minimize
Keep slides counts to a minimum to maintain a clear message and to keep the audience
attentive

Remember that the presentation is just a visual aid.

Most information should still come from the reporter.


Clarity
 Avoid being to fancy by using font style that is easy to read

Make sure that it is also big enough to be read by the audience.

Once you start making your presentation, consider how big the screen is during your report.
Simplicity
Use bullets or short sentences

 Summarize the information on the screen to have your audience focus on what the speaker is
saying than on reading the slide

Limit the content to six lines and seven words per line. This is known as the 6 x 7 rule.
 Visual
Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the audience

In addition, instead of using table of data, use charts and graphs.


Consistency
Make your design uniform.

Avoid having different font styles and backgrounds.


 Contrast
Use a light font on dark background or vice versa

This is done so that it is easier to read. In most instances, it is easier to read on screen if the
background is dark. This is due to the brightness of the screen.
