GOOD PRESENTATION

Made by: Samyak Jain

1. T.M.I. (Too Much Information)

• Stick to three or four points about your topic and elaborate them.

2. Guy Kawasaki’s

10-20-30 Rule• 10 slides are the optimal no. to use for a

presentation.• 20 minutes is the longest amount of time you

should speak.• 30 point font is the smallest font size you

should use on your slides.

3. Design Template or Design theme

• Choose a design that is appropriate for the topic.

• A clean, straight-forward layout is ideal for business presentations.

• Young students respond to presentations that are full of color and contain a variety of shapes.

4. Electrifying Color Choices

• Good contrast with the background is essential to make your text easy to read.

• Dark text on a light background is best.• Dark backgrounds are very effective, if the text

is light.

5. Font Choices• The font size should not be too small or too

big.• It should be easy to read from a distance.• The font style chosen should be simple and

easy to read.

6. Photos and Graphs

• Use photos, charts and diagrams to emphasize key points of your presentation.

7. Animations

• Different animations create confusion for the audience as to from which direction the text would appear. Thus uniformity is preferred.

8.Order of Slides• The information flow should be in proper

order and thus the slides.
