Background

• Choose your background colour carefully and keep it consistent through the whole show.

For Each Slide

• Have a heading• A picture• Two or three points

Lists

• When you have a list of information• Reveal them one by one• Not all at once• Keep the animations simple• Not like those!

Do not do this!

• Do not write very long paragraphs when you are creating a powerpoint presentation because they are difficult to read and do not look good on the screen. Besides, the information you give on a powerpoint presentation should be precise and to the point. You should not ramble on so that your audience gets bored!

Lists

• When you create lists:– Keep the list to three or four points– Do not add five or six points– Avoid making sub lists like this:

• Sub lists are not desirable• They make the presentation too long
