How to make good Presentation !

Use a Template: 

Use a set font and color scheme. Different styles are disturbing to the audience. You want the audience to focus on what you present, not the way you present. For more styles you can download from Internet as per your topic. Use a Template

Fonts: 

Choose a clean font that is easy to read. Roman and Calibri typefaces are easier to read than Script or Old English . Stick with one or two types of fonts. Bulleted items should be no smaller than 22 points. The title should be no smaller than 28 points. Fonts

Bullets: 

Keep each bullet to one line, two at the most. Limit the number of bullets in a screen to six, four if there is a large title, logo, picture, etc. If you crowd too much text, the audience will not read it. Bullets

Caps and Italics: 

Do not use all capital letters Makes text hard to read Denies their use for EMPHASIS Italics Used for “ quotes ” Used to highlight thoughts or ideas Used for book, journal, or magazine titles Caps and Italics

Colors: 

Reds and oranges are high-energy but can be difficult to stay focused on. Greens , blues , and browns are mellower, but not as attention grabbing. White on dark background should not be used if the audience is more than 20 feet away. This set of slides is a good example. You can easily read the slides up close. It is harder to read the further away you get. C o l o r s

The Color Wheel: 

The Color Wheel Colors separated by another color are contrasting colors (also known as complementary) Adjacent colors (next to each other) harmonize with one another. e.g. Green and Yellow The color wheel below is simplified for easy use

Clashing Colors: 

Clashing Colors Colors that are directly opposite from one another are said to clash. These provide readability - e.g. yellow on blue.

Illustrations: 

Use only when needed, otherwise they become distracters instead of communicators They should relate to the message and help make a point Ask yourself if it makes the message clearer Simple diagrams are great communicators Illustrations

YOU: 

Do not use the media to hide you The audience came to see you The media should enhance the presentation, not BE the presentation If all you are going to do is read from the slides or overheads, then just send them the slides. YOU
