Background
Graphs
Conclusions






Put as little on a slide as you can manage.
Never use a font smaller than 24 point for normal text
Use a simple background.
If animating text, do it simply and quickly.

1.Select standard fonts such as
Arial or Times New Roman
2. Use a larger font (35-45 points) or
different color for the title
4. Use dark text on light background
or light text on dark background
3. 6-8 words per line and 6 lines per slide
Limit the number of colours on a single screen.
Bright colours make small objects and thin lines stand out.
Use no more than four colours on one chart.
Check all colours on a projection screen before the actual presentation.
Bad Colour
Using a font colour that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read
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

Background
Graphs
Use graphs rather than just charts and words
Data in graphs is easier to comprehend
Trends are easier to visualize in graph form

Always title your graphs

Conclusion
Use a conclusion slide
End your presentation with simple questions
Give 1 slide to thank the audiences
