  1. IEDM PowerPoint Presentation Template Author list goes here… Affiliation goes here…

  2. Outline of Presentation • Page Setup • Colors and fonts • General guidelines for good slides • Text slides • Illustrations and figures • Saving your file • Uploading your presentation

  3. Page Setup • Use the page setup defined by this template Note the 16:9 aspect ratio • Use a white background • Leave at least ½” margin on all sides • All pages should be in horizontal (Landscape) format • Do not use vertically formatted pages • No logos are permitted except on the title page

  4. Colors and Fonts • Use black or another dark color • Maximize the contrast with the white background • Use the Calibri fonts shown in this template • Use as large a font as possible • Main text lines: 32 point • Secondary lines: 28 point • Smallest text lines: 24 point • Anything below 24 is too small (e.g. 20 point)

  5. General Guidelines • Keep concepts as simple as possible • Limit each page to one main idea • Use several simple figures rather than one complex one • Make duplicate copies of a page if you plan to refer to it later • Do not switch back and forth during your presentation • Do not plan to go back to a slide • Rehearse your talk aloud, preferably in front of a group • Ask your colleagues for feedback

  6. Text Slides • Slides with lots of words are hard for the audience to grasp • Avoid line breaks • The audience should focus on you not on reading long text lines as in this horribly horribly long long text • Minimize the number of words on text slides • Guidelines • Use no more than 30 words per page • Use no more than 6 lines of text per page

  7. Graphs and Figures • Simple line drawings are often best • Make all lines sufficiently thick • Use dark colors to give high contrast to the background • Dotted, dashed, or other specialty lines should be bold and thick • Make fonts embedded in figures > 24 point • Make sure figures also use Calibri or a similar font • Avoid serif fonts like Times New Roman • These fonts are good for printed material but not on screens • Imported graphs may have small fonts and thin lines • Fix this in the source program

  8. Example of a Good Figure • Simple graph - thick, bold axes - large fonts

  9. Example of a Bad Figure • Light colors, poor contrast, text too small

  10. Saving Your File • Embed true type fonts in your file • Click on “File”, “Save As”, “Tools”, “Save options”, “Embed fonts in the file”, or • Click on “File”, “Save As”, and check “Embed True Type” • Save your file with the name pattern shown below • S-P_author_n.ppt • S: Session number, P: Paper number, n: Version • Example: 5-3_Smith_1.ppt

  11. Uploading Your Presentation • Bring an electronic copy with you to IEDM on a USB drive • Deliver it to the Speaker Preparation Room • Do this on the day prior to your talk! • Review your materials in the Speaker Preparation Room • Verify that your presentation works properly • Verify all fonts are properly embedded, check for μ, η, °, etc.
