Slides – Some “history & perspective”• __________________
35 mm slides (or overhead transparencies) challenges: a) project ‘advance’ working b) jammed slides c) “advanced” time required1) get good pictures2) get good graphs/charts 3) get film processed 4) editing limited
• ______ PowerPoint Few conferences offered PC-video projectorNot reliable/compatible (CD vs. 3 ½ floppy vs. ???)
Current PowerPoint
• More conformity (except maybe for video clips)…most versions of PowerPoint accepted
• Better chance of “everything” working• Still issues with “________” and “__________”• Less _________, more last-minute “throwing
together” of slide sets• Over use of whistles and bells
“Guidelines… did you say Guidelines?”
• Nothing “hard and fast” --- at least anything that will get you off the program…in advance
• Avoid over doing it (in a variety of ways….color, animation, contrast, backgrounds, too many slides, etc.)
• Font _____ AND ______ are critical !!!!!!• Consider your audience AND consider you as the
speaker!!!• Bottomline…don’t be ______________ …any slide.
If it isn’t ‘quality’ then don’t include it OR modify it BEFORE the presentation !!!!

Highlighting / Blocking
Get good “focus” by blocking out unnecessary clutterHighlight with “simple” effects (this example: window)
Animation….sequencing
The 50 yd. glide……….
• Limit number of colors (< 3)• Do not over- animate…keep it simple• “synchronize” with verbal comments
Installation Specific Assessments
Non-woody vegetation cover (NWV) Bare ground area (BGA) Soil quality (physical, chemical,& biological)
LRAM rehab sites
100 m X 100 m plots using Rotating Panel Sampling Design
Plot size varies by site….Monitor all initially

Title Slides (i.e., first slide)
• Large font size• Really, really, really: _________________ only …
except for maybe a scientific name• Less is often better• Avoid any animation/mouse-click “add-ons”:
a) don’t know when ‘ready’ to launchb) want audience to get full attention “now”…
not with snippets that show up because you are just getting use tothe clicker/pointer/pg-down button, etc.
• Keep in mind: this is _____ thing audience sees!
