Titles • Use titles on each slide to keep audience on track
Keep it simple • Make each bullet short • Make the font large enough • Phrases, not sentences • Try to fill the slide • Do this using line spacing (under format) rather than returns
Bad color schemes • Red type is hard to read • So is green and… • Approximately 10% of European males are color blind • Use simple and primary colors – especially on graphs
Dark on Light • Becoming more common
Light on Dark • Standard style
Avoid Background Designs • This can be distracting
Do not fit too much on a single slide, as this can be distracting • You do not need to write complete sentences. You should summarize in short phrases to save space-concentrate on your key points • If you try and fit too much on a slide, your key points can be lost • Fitting too much on a slide tends to be a crutch for the presenter, who subsequently relies on reading the slides instead of engaging the audience • If you need to break up the slide and turn it into 2 or 3 slides instead of cramming everything onto a single slide
Outline • Way to orient audience for longer talks • Introduction • Methods • Results • As move section to section can repeat outline, highlighting current section
Humor W w w “The diagnostic computer says it’s in your financial best interest to invest in the companies whose drugs you take.”
Animation • Rely only as needed • Can be distracting if not done right • Often useful instead of a pointer • For key points
