Basic Rules of Good Presentation

KISS (Keep It Simple Stupid)

Preparing and Rehearsing the presentation
Don't go too fast or too slow
You cannot please everyone

Making Power Point Slides

Good Slide Structure and Font

Write

in point, not in complete sentence

Include 4-5 points per slide
Use at least an 18 size font and standard font
such as Times New Roman or Arial
Use different size font for main points and
secondary points

This font is 24 size, the main point font is 28 size,

and the title font is 36 size

Bad Slide Structure

This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point form,
making it difficult both for your audience to
read and for you to present each point.
Although there are exactly the same number of
points on this slide as the previous slide, it
looks much more complicated. In short, your
audience will spend too much time trying to
read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

Bad Slide Font

If you use a small font, your audience wont be able to read what you have written

CAPITALIZE

ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT

IS DIFFICULT TO READ

Dont

use a complicated font

Good Slide Colour

Use

a colour of font that contrasts sharply with

the background

Ex: blue font on white background

Use

a colour to reinforce the logic of your

structure

Ex: light blue title and dark blue text

Use

colour to emphasize a point

But only use this occasionally

Bad Slide Colour

Using

a font colour that does not contrast with

the background colour is hard to read
Using colour for decoration is distracting and
annoying.
Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary

Using a different colour for secondary points is also

unnecessary

Trying

to be creative can also be bad
