PowerPoint

GuidelinesPowerPoint Guidelines (cont.)

PowerPoint

guidelines

Please make sure all imported objects are embedded into the presentation and

not linked (the exception being video - see note below). Editing of imported

objects will not be possible on-site although minor alterations to any PowerPoint

objects will be possible.

Do not include images sourced from the internet. These images are mostlycovered by copyright legislation, which means they should not be used at all

unless copyright clearance has been obtained. There has also been some

problem using encrypted or watermarked files in PowerPoint, causing the

programme to crash.

If any scanned images are to be used, keep them to a sensible file size. There will

be very little difference on screen between a scan that is 2.0Mb or 30Mb.

Only use the fonts supplied as standard with Windows 2010 or PowerPoint, this will

prevent any ' missing font ' problems on the day. If another font is used it can beused providing it is Truetype/Opentype and is not covered by any copyright

restrictions.

Do not put too much information onto each slide, keep it simple and easily

understood even from the back of the room. If your text sizes are smaller than

about 20 point the audience will not be able to read it, and if they can't read it

there is no point in displaying it!

Keep graphs as simple as possible for the same reasons. If a slide looks too busy,

split the information into smaller pieces and display it across several slides.

Bring more than one copy of the presentation. Using two types of media is a good

idea as this will provide the most effective back-up.

A video clip or animation may be used in the presentation. However, companies

wishing to use video should note that it must be incorporated into the PowerPoint

and must be in MPG1, PAL, 352 x 288 pixels format. Do not use animation files such

as Flash as these can give problems when used within PowerPoint. Any video used

will be counted as part of the 4 minute presentation timing. No additional credit

during the judging process will be given for the use of video.
