MAKING A GOOD PRESENTATION CAN BE
EASY IF YOU INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING
ELEMENTS:
1. Simple slides, with no more than one
concept per page, and no more than 25-30
words per page.

2. Text and images kept within a
reasonable distance from the edges of the
slide. This prevents the slide from looking
over-crowded.

3. Slides that are easy to read. Avoid flashy color
schemes, fonts, and animation. These features
should complement a presentation, and not be the
presentation itself.

NOTE: Choose "Slide
Design - Color Schemes"
from the task pane menu
to see a variety of pre-
designed schemes you
can apply to your slides.
4. A speaker who uses the
slides as prompts and not as
a script to be read aloud.
Sometimes audiences find it
distracting to try to read
and listen at the same time.
5. Use an index card as a guide
to your report so that you
are not always looking at your
own presentation.
6. Keep It Straight and Simple.(KISS)

•Keywords only.
•No sentences!
•Never read your slides, talk freely.
Remember that your slides are only
there to support, not to replace your
talk! You’ll want to tell a story,
describe your data or explain
circumstances, and only provide
keywords through
7. Add Images
 Add more images in your slides than
text.
 But do not use images to decorate!
 Images can reinforce or complement
your message.
 Use images to visualize and explain.
 A picture can say more than a
thousand words.
8. Add Animations & Media
 In animations, there is a fine line
between a comic or professional
impression.
 However, animations can be rather
powerful tools to visualize and
explain complicated matters.
 A good animation can not only
improve understanding, but can also
make the message stick with your
audience.
9. Always face your Audience

When talking always look to

the eyes of the listener
Focus on your topic
Always make sure that you
catch the interest of your
audience
10. PRACTICE
A well-prepared and enthusiastic talk will
help you convince your audience and
maintain their attention. There are some
key points that define a good talk.
 Know your slides inside out.

 Speak freely.

 Speak with confidence – loud and clear.

 Don’t speak too fast.

 Maintain eye contact with the audience.
