Slideshow Tips

• Keep It Simple–Use relevant images/photos and a few

key words to capture the idea you’re trying to convey.

• Bullets and Text– Avoid using lots of text. If necessary,

use brief 1 3 word statements.‐

Slideshow Tips

• Timing– Slides advance every 30 seconds, so

avoid cramming too many topics or ideas into one slide.

– Instead, give yourself breathing room by spacing ideas and topics across multiple slides.

– You have 10 slides, so don’t be afraid to use them.

• Image– Images worth 1000 words– Give credit where credit is due by

naming the image owner.
