Give them their own slide, supplement with high quality pictures.

Avoid this, andtake a closer look

Can you read that?

I can’t.

Color is key.

Contrasting text and background colors, such asorange and blue allow yourinformation to POP

Few bullets? Check.Good color? Check.

Use sparingly, else it’s childishAnd nauseating.

Presentations are a supplement

To your audience that is.

Don’t just re

engage!

Embrace technology

Use hyperlinks to connect audiencesto additional information.

Videos do this on a higher level.

Continue with technology

Enabling your presentation to be viewed online allows access across all devices (laptop, computer, phone, tablet, etc.).

Use alternative softwares like Prezi or Vuvox They allow for “outside the box” thinking

Introduce creativity and non-linear-ness into presentations

Wrap it up

Minimal words and bullets

Contrasting, lovely colors

Limited, professional animations

Treat presentations as a supplement not a foundation

Embrace technology
