When it comes to slide design, you shouldn’t think of decoration, but of communication

SUPPORT THE HEADLINE with graphic evidence





Instead of bullets, support your points with graphic evidence. This can include photos, images, charts and diagrams.

Say the words and put the visuals on your slides. Support your points with creative and relevant

images. Use graphics rather than bullet lists to support

the headline.



Not every presentation of yours needs a slide.




You only need a visual aid in a presentation if you would need one in conversation.

Slides should be projected only when they serve the presentation.

What do you do when you’re not showing a slide? You insert a plain black slide into your slide show.






Well-designed slides are terrible handouts since they lack the on-slide text necessary to form an informative narrative. [Create]handouts that are distributed after the presentation.

Your handouts are there pository for detailed information.

Have well-written hand-outs to leave behind after the presentation for those who want to know the why sand where-fores. These will have to be different from the slides of course!






Even though you’re liable to be presenting in a darkened room, give some thought to your own presentation manner–how you hold yourself, what you wear, how you move around the room.

You are the focus when you’re presenting, no matter how interesting your slides are.






Open with something surprising or intriguing, something that will get your audience to sit up and take notice.

The most powerful hooks are often those that appeal directly to your audience’s emotions–offer them something awesome or, if it’s appropriate, scare the pants off of them.

The rest of your presentation, then, will be effectively your promise to make the awesome thing happen, or the scary thing not happen






Ask a lot of them Build tension by posing a question and letting

your audience stew a moment before moving to then ext slide with the answer

Quiz their knowledge and then show them how little they know

If appropriate, engage in a little question – and – answer with your audience, with you asking the questions.






It can be easy to fall into drone, going on and on and on and on and on with only minimal changes to your inflection.

Always speak as if you were speaking to a friend, not as if you are reading off of index cards (even if you are)

If keeping up a lively and personable tone of voice is difficult for you when presenting, do a couple of practice run-throughs.

If you still can’t get it right and presentations are a big part of your job, take a public speaking course or join Toastmasters.
