 07
Deadly Sins
of PowerPoint
The key to success is to make certain
that your slide show is a visual aid
and not a visual distraction.
1. Slide
Transition
●Transitions and sound effects
can become the focus of
attention, which in turn
distracts the audience.
2. Standard
Clipart
●Make certain that you need
graphical images to enhance
your message.
3. Presentation
Template
●Templates force you to fit your
original ideas into someone else’s
pre-packaged mold.
●Create your own distinctive look
or use your company logo in a
corner of the screen.
4. Text-Heavy
Slides
Slides are a poor medium for detail
and reading. Avoid:
●Paragraphs,
●Quotations; and even
●Complete sentences
5. The “ME”
Paradigm
●Move the circle from “me” to
“we.”
●Remember that size really
does matter.
6. Reading

and listening.
7. Faith in
Technology

●Always familiarize yourself

with the presentation.
