Elena Andreyeva,LMSU Business School

Use same style titles, fonts, backgrounds Use colour to emphasize Make sure your text is legible Use animation sparingly and consistently Use pictures to enhance your message

Slides As Handouts

Add detailed notes to slidesNotes should be complete sentences, not just bullets

or key words Make your handout stand-aloneIt should make sense to the people who were not at

your presentation Provide white spaceSome people like to take notes during a presentation

The slide is intended to be read, not presented Make your slideshow stand-aloneThe message and take-away should be clear to

people who read from the slides Remember that images, videos etc

make emailing your slideshow clumsy
