Effective Power point Presentations
Home work #1 Hunter Osborne
Step #1-Keep it simple
The Objective of power points is to convey information using slides that are simple and to the point.
• People are in your presentation in order to to hear the information you have to say, do not bore them with endless information on numerous slides.• Your slides should have plenty of “white and
black spaces” meaning that not every slide should be filled with information.
Step 2- Limit Bullet Points and Text
Be sure to chose a font that the audience can see clearly.
Your presentation is for the benefit of the audience, don’t include more text than necessary.
The best slides might even be the ones with no text in them! Make sure you convey your message without boring the audience.
Step #3- Use Clip Art/ High Quality Graphics
Clip Art is Great! Having art or some kind of
picture in your presentations grabs the viewers attention.
Having some sort of picture also helps convey a message, or story.
Just be sure to not include too many pictures, which can overwhelm the audience!
Step #4- Use Appropriate Tools
Often times there are instances when charts, graphs, and tables are required to show information.
Be sure you’re using the appropriate charts to depict your information.
Pi charts are for percentages, Vertical charts are for showing data, and horizontal charts are used to show quantities.
Step #5- Match Color Schemes
Color is believed to evoke emotions. It’s important to have a color scheme that goes well with your font, and background that compliment your presentation.
Don’t go overboard with the ability to pick and choose colors, keep it simple and basic, but professional.
Also don’t need to be an expert in color theory to know which colors do and do not go well together. Be sure to pick a color scheme that stands out and works. Different
colors in a presentation can be abstract!
Summary Slide
So with everything that I’ve presented on this power point, you all should now have a better understanding on how to present a PowerPoint more effectively.
I believe a power point presentation is a tool used to describe someone’s personality.
Power points are highly used and are highly effective if used right
