Simple is best• Use backgrounds that display your text and
background in a pleasing fashion (not busy)• Use the same fonts, colors and design throughout
the entire PowerPoint.

Information• Simplify and limit the number of words on each
screen. Use key phrases and include only essential information.

Don’t Cram• Limit punctuation and avoid putting words in all
capital letters. Empty space on the slide will enhance readability.

Readability• Use contrasting colors for text and background. • Dark text on a light background is best. • Patterned backgrounds can reduce readability of
text.

Transitions• Avoid the use of flashy transitions such as text fly-
ins. These features may seem impressive at first, but are distracting and get old quickly.

Special Effects• Overuse of special effects such as animation and
sounds may make your presentation "cutesy" and could negatively impact your credibility.

Images• Use good quality images that reinforce and
complement your message.

Keep it small• Limit the number of slides. Presenters who
constantly "flip" to the next slide are likely to lose their audience. A good rule of thumb is one slide per minute.

Feedback• Practice with someone who has never seen your
presentation. Ask them for honest feedback about colors, content, and any effects or graphics you've included.

Audience• Read to your audience not to your slides• The slideshow if for the audience not the presenter

Reading• Try to exemplify the points in the slideshow (use
examples) not just read everything from the slides• The bigger the presentation the more you should
practice going through it

Understanding• Do not apologize for anything in your
presentation. • If you believe something will be hard to read or
understand, don't use it.
