Slide Format
![Page 4: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
Background for Slides
Use a dark background, such as shown here.
Dark blue is most easily viewed by most people and recommended.
![Page 5: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Text Font and ColorUse the largest size fonts that fit withthe space on the slide.
Use bold font styles.
White font color is recommended.
![Page 6: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Text Font and Color
Never use red on a blue background like this.
![Page 7: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Text Font and ColorRemember that many in theaudience will not have perfect visionand some will be color blind.
Plan for a large presentation room. Uselarge bold fonts that will be visible fromall parts of a large room.

Company AffiliationDo NOT place your company name or logoon the footer or header of the slides.
Company names and logos are only to be on the first slide.
Reference to any specific commercial item is to be made generic for the rest of the slides.
![Page 10: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Commercialism
To say the least, it is very poor etiquette to deliver a “sales pitch” on the pretext of a technical presentation.
![Page 11: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
TransitionSlides

Transition Slides
Transition slides like the previous slideprovide a great way to inform theaudience of a topic change.
Use keeps your audience focused.
![Page 13: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Graphs

GraphsConvey numerical information with the minimum amount of detail.
Make graphs large enough to be easily seen anywhere in the room.
![Page 15: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Instead of a legend consider using
text labels.
Use bold type and large symbols.
Graphs
![Page 16: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Use different line patterns, line thickness, and symbols to distinguish data.
Graphs

DiagramsDiagrams are excellent for clearly showing the pertinent details of the object of discussion.
![Page 21: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
DiagramsLeave plenty of time in your presentation for the audience to become familiar with your diagram.
Over a minute is not too long.

Tables
Tables should be used for information that is not numerical.

TablesAvoid the use of tables for numerical results.
Use a graph instead.

EquationsUse equations to illustrate physical phenomena, and graph them if possible.
Use only commonly accepted nomenclature.
![Page 32: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
EquationsRefer to your paper for complicated mathematical developments.
Equations must never demonstrate an exercise in algebra.

EquationsAssumptions and conditions that make your equations accurately capture the essence of a process (with results) will be much more useful to a general ANTEC audience rather than a mathematical development.

Photographs
![Page 37: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
PhotographsPhotos should be:
•uncluttered,
•well focused, and
•well lighted.
![Page 38: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
PhotographsIdeally, the subject should be isolated against a plain background.
If not, the subject should be obvious and distinct.
![Page 39: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
Photographs
Sometimes it is appropriate to use a familiar object (e.g., a ruler) in a photograph to establish dimensional scale.
![Page 40: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Photographs
Labeling (e.g., with balloons) is recommended to point out important aspects of the subject.
![Page 41: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)

ContentPresent the minimum amount of information on the slides needed to clearly introduce and outline your ideas to the audience.
The details of the work should be in the paper, part of your supporting discussion, and used to answer questions.

TipsNo more than three key sentences
or statements are typical on a good
single slide.
![Page 49: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Tips - SlangSlang words are not appropriate for technical presentations.
Slang words can mislead the audience.
They create difficulties for our non-US colleagues.

Tips - Abbreviations
Use only standard abbreviations.
Do not use numerous abbreviations.
![Page 52: Preparing a Slide Presentation for ANTEC](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062409/56814553550346895db2232b/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
Tips – Poor Abbreviations Example
“The super-duper plasticating extruder (SDPE)is shown by Figure 6. This SDPE worked wellfor LDPE.”
The audience will quickly loose interestif they need to learn and translatenumerous abbreviations.

Tips – Good AbbreviationsExample
“The low density polyethylene (LDPE)used had a melt index (MI) of 2. Thecomparative LDPE resin had an MI of 3.”
