Quick Tips: When making the slides...

Shoot them with bullets

"Less is more on a slide show

Too much information on a single slide becomes

unreadablePresent your content in the form of four to five

bulleted points per slide;

anything more and you end up creating clutter.

your slide readableadds to the overall impact of your presentation

Let your bullets be visible.

9/3/2013 16


17/36

Quick Tips: When making the slides...

Try to use a font size of 24-28. Don't let each bulleted point be too lengthy.

Limit it to six words in one line -- use short

sentences.

Try to restrict it to six lines in a slide.

Contrast the text with the background.

To highlight certain important information,

present that text in a larger font size.

18/36

Few Tips

9/3/2013 18


19/36

1. Compose Slides

Dont copy & paste slides from different sources.

Keep the design very basic and simple. It shall not

distract.

Pick an easy to read font face.

Carefully select font sizes for headers and text.

Leave room for highlights, such as images or take

home messages.

Decorate scarcely but well.

9/3/2013 19


20/36

2. Use Consistency

Consistently use the same font face and sizeson all slides.

Match colors.

You may use your company logo, highlightheaders, create a special frame for

figures/images or the whole slide

dont overload your slides with these elements. Colors

A poor choice of colors can shatter

a presentation.9/3/2013 20


21/36

3. Use Contrast

Black text on a white background will always

be the best but also the most boring choice.

If you want to play with colors, keep it easy on

the eyes

always keep good contrast in mind so that

your readers do not have to strain to guess

what youve typed on your slide.

9/3/2013 21


22/36

4. Apply Brilliance

Carefully use color to highlight your message!

Dont weaken the color effect by using too

many colors at an instance.

Make a brilliant choice: match colors for

design and good contrast to highlight your

message.

9/3/2013 22


23/36

5. KISS

Keep It Straight and Simple.

Keywords only.

No sentences!

Never read your slides, talk freely.

Remember that your slides are only there to support, notto replace your talk!

Youll want to tell a story, describe your data or explaincircumstances, and only provide keywords through yourslides.

If you read your slides and if you do it slow and badly,the audience will get bored and stop listening.

9/3/2013 23


24/36

6. Take Home Message

Always express a Take Home Message.

Its your message, a summary of your data orstory.

Make it a highlight that stands out. Images

Images are key elements of every presentation.

Your audience has ears and eyes theyll want to

see what youre talking about,a good visual cue will help them to understand

your message much better

9/3/2013 24


25/36

7. Add Images

Have more images in your slides

than text.

But do not use images to

decorate!

Images can reinforce or

complement your message.

Images can reinforce or complement your

message.

Use images to visualize and explain.

A picture can say more than a thousand words.9/3/2013 25


26/36

7. Add Images

Animations & Media

In animations, there is a fine line between acomic or professional impression.

However, animations can be rather powerfultools to visualize & explain complicatedmatters.

A good animation can not only improveunderstanding, but can also make themessage stick with your audience.

Useful Tips: When Presenting...

Your PPT is not a Teleprompter

-Don't commit the cardinal sin of reading out your slides word forword.

-PPT slides are to be used as a visual communication aid and not asa teleprompter for the speaker.

Get out of the way

-Make sure you are not blocking the audience's view.-Use a laser beam to identify the points on the screen, never yourarm.

Go slow-Don't rush through your slide show.

-Give about 30 seconds to two minutes for the images on your slideshow to make an impact.

-This will also give you time to answer questions and make yourpoint.

9/3/2013 28


29/36

Useful Tips: When Presenting... Do dummy runs

-Don't make the first presentation to your audience.-You should do the entire presentation by yourself (in front of amirror, if possible).

-See how it flows and how long it takes.

It's not just technology

-PowerPoint may be a great piece of technology, but youreffectiveness as a public speaker will eventually dictate the impact.

-Dress smartly.

-Entertain the audience with some amount of planned humor.

-Share anecdotes and stories.

-Don't talk in a monotone. Pack in enthusiasm and energy into yourvoice.

-And, if you do goof up, never apologize -- take a breath, smile andmove on.

30/36

Dont Be Silly

Use animations and media sparingly.

Use animations to draw attention

Use animations to clarify a model oremphasize an effect.

Target & Content

Your target i.e. your audience, defines thecontent of your presentation.

9/3/2013 30


31/36

Keep Your Audience In Mind What do they know?

What do you need to tell them?

What do they expect?

What will be interesting to them?

What can you teach them?

What will keep them focused?

Answer these questions and boil your slides down to thevery essentials.

In your talk, describe the essentials colorfully and choose

your weapons i.e. text, images and animations wisely . If you lose the attention of your audience, everything will

be lost it wont matter how ingenious your design orhow brilliantly you picked colors and keywords

9/3/2013 31


32/36

Practice

A well-prepared & enthusiastic talk will help youconvince your audience

Maintain their attention.

Some key points:Know your slides inside out.

Speak freely.

Speak with confidence loud and clear.Dont speak too fast.

Maintain eye contact with the audience.

9/3/2013 32


33/36

Smart tips...

Go blank: If you want the audience to taketheir eyes off the slides, just put the

presentation on slide show mode and press 'B'

on your keyboard. This will blank out the screen and you will

have the audience's attention. Press 'B' again

and you are back. Navigate: If you have to navigate through

slides, you can simply type in the slide number

and press 'Enter'.9/3/2013 33


34/36

Smart tips...

Add speaker notes: Worried about forgettingyour script?

Go to the slide for which you want to add notes.

Go to the 'View' menu and select 'Notes'. Click the text placeholder and begin typing your

speaker notes.

Only YOU can see these notes, so your audience

will leave your presentation, impressed with yourability to say smart things at the right time.

Try it out, it's really cool.
