How To Create an Effective Presentation

By: Shelby Cohan

Keep Things Simple

Leave Space

Negative space on a slide is a good thing

The less clutter, the less distraction

Limit bullet use

Too many bullets in one slide can leave the

audience confused

Find an alternative to bullet use

LIMIT WORD USE

- The fewer words it take

to get the message

across the better.

- Everything that is going

to be said does not

needed to be included on

the presentation itself

COLOR CHOICE

The colors picked to be

used can make or break a

presentation. Choose wisely

SUMMARY Keep the presentation simple

leave space and limit bullet use

Use high quality graphics

Use as few words as possible

Think carefully when choosing colors
