Slide 5
OUTLINE Always make an outline of your presentation Must follow
that outline in whole presentation Never use text massively in an
outline Try and put some suitable pictures to start with Try and
gain the interest of the audience in contents Use titles of each
slide as outline 4
Slide 6
EFFECTIVE SLIDE STRUCTURE Do not put details about the topic
Include 6 to 7 points per slide depending on the slide behavior Try
and make abbreviations 5
Slide 7
A Dull Slide Structure This slide is basically describes about
a dull slide structure as you can see it very clearly that this is
text is not written in a bullet format thats why its very difficult
to read as as the audience will keep looking at the slide instead
of listening you so try and avoid such kind of massive text in a
slide because it will destroy your repute in front of all in
comparison to the last slide this slide is creating a very bad and
tense impression on the viewers. 6
Slide 8
STRUCTURE OF SLIDE There may not be lots of points in a slide 7
Try to use animations in each point Use sub bullets in case to
define a topic in more detail This will prevent the audience to not
read ahead Will definitely help you to keep the audience interest
Always write less and speak more
Slide 9
A BAD STRUCTURE Always make an outline of your presentation
Must follow that outline in whole presentation Never use text
massively in an outline Try and put some suitable pictures to start

Slide 10
Select Good Fonts Use at least an 18-point font Make variations
in font sized for main points & secondary points As this font
size is 20-point & the main point font size is 26-point and the
slide title font size is 42-point Use standard fonts like Times new
Roman, Arial etc. Use good colors which remain easy to view Do not
write in capital words 9
Slide 11
BAD FONTS EXAMPLE This is the bad use of font size USE CAPITAL
WORDS WHEN ITS NECESSARY. BECAUSE ITS DIFFICULT TO READ. Never use
such font which is difficult to read Do not use such color which
merges with the slide color Trying to be creative can also be bad

Slide 12
BACKGROUND SELECTION Use backgrounds such as this one that are
attractive but simple. Use backgrounds which are light or In
contrast with text written on to it. Use the same background
consistently throughout your presentation. 11
Slide 13
Background Bad Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or
difficult to read from Always be consistent with the background
that you use 12
Slide 14
Include Graphs Use graphs rather than just charts and words
Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain than is raw
data Trends are easier to visualize in graph form Always title your
graphs 13
