SERIF OR

Serif and Sans-Serif Fonts!

Font choices are important when designing a PowerPoint.

Different font choices are suitable for different audiences.

There are two types of font:

Serif Fonts

These have sharp points on the edges

of letters.

F

Sans-Serif Fonts

These have smooth letter edges with no points.

F Sharp points Smooth edges

EOS

NOTE: There are lots of different examples of the 2 main fonts.

Serif and Sans-Serif Fonts!

Serif fonts tend to be used in formal (serious) publications

where there is lots of text.

Sans-serif fonts are used on informal (not serious)

publications where there is small amounts of text.

PowerPoint Presentation

Criteria

The PowerPoint Presentation criteria sheet was used to

help you decide what to put on each slide. For example:

• What should be included on slide 1

• What should be included on slides 2 - 6

• How many images you can use on each slide

• Which slides should contain hyperlinks (all of them)

• Reminders of how to suit your target audience.

Example PowerPoint

This is an example of a completed E-Safety Presentation

Design. Notice how:

All 6 slides have been used

Design is consistent throughout (slides designed the same)

Hyperlinks appear on every slide

Both images and text have been used.

Task 1:

• Complete the ‘Fonts’ work sheet to see if you can pick

out the difference between serif and sans-serif fonts.

Task 2:

• Look at the next slide for advice on what text content

to add to your e-safety presentation.

Use your E-safety Rules research sheet from part 1 to

help you decide what content to add.

Task Time - Text

EOS

• You should now add some text to your presentation. The text should explain to children some e-safety rules and why it is important that they follow the rules

YOU MUST HAVE THE FOLLOWING DOCUMENTS OPEN: The presentation criteria (link)

Your E-safety research sheet (link)

Your hand drawn design

Any tutorials you may need (hyperlinks, animations etc)

Things to remember:

• Work from the presentation criteria

• Save work on a regular basis

• Take into account anything mentioned during this lesson about good use of text.

Add Text to your Presentation

EOS

Homework

Take your E-Safety PowerPoint designs home to

help you gather more text content for your

slides.

You can either research the content and write

it down or bring it in on a memory stick.

I have created a research sheet that you can

use to gather any research you do.
