Emphasis

• Bold text for emphasis is preferred;– italics , underlined text; harder to read

• Color contrast may be used • AVOID USING ALL CAPS FOR EMPHASIS; TANTAMOUNT

TO SHOUTING!

Fonts

font)– Use Calibri font for body text (at least size 24-font)

• Font sizes, styles MUST be consistent throughout the presentation.

Slide Background

• Too many images = distracting

Images and Graphics: Type

• High-quality photos and illustrations are permitted:– Bar graphs are pie-chart are preferred to data

tables; easier to read– data tables: font must be large enough to read at

the back of the room

Images and Graphics: Purpose

• Every image must serve a purpose; don’t bore or confuse your audience– USE “C2C”Correlate images to associated Content

Slide Content

paragraphs– Need to elaborate? Use more slides, list only key

points and explain points verbally

• Revision: No spelling or grammatical errors– Use Spell-check!

• Slides must be in English.

Bullet Points

• Bullet Pont: Required format for presentation – No more than 6 bullet points per slide– General rule: 10 words or less per bullet

• No need for punctuation at the end of bullet points

• Each bullet = separate thought

Bullet Points

• Capitalization: first word in bullet only– Exception: other words that are proper nouns

• Left-justify all bullets – Sub-bulleting is permitted

Animation and Slide Transitions

• All slides should have swift transitions– Slide headings: Transition to display new slide– Avoid text animation; distracting

Oral Presentation Guidelines

• Do not simply read from the PowerPoint! – This is a boring and ineffective style of

presentation– Instead, glance at the screen or your notes but

Remember to maintain eye contact

Engaging Your Audience• Time:

–Keep presentations short and sweet! Most people can only concentrate for 10 minutes or less

• Utilize blank slides; bringing attention off the screen and back to you • Longer presentations; use interactive pieces:– Video – Audience discussion points
