Know Your Audience
•Take full control of your audience,•Speak out,•You should be the main attraction not the PowerPoint,
•Control your voice•Eye contact
Connecting with the Audience
is the primary objective
Presentation shouldCredible
Do:Organize your thoughts on paper before working with PowerPoint
Use the Outline View for preparing the text part of your presentation
Spell check your content
Use only appropriate graphs, charts and images that closely follow or complement the concept expressed in each slide
Divide topics in one or more slides and keep text to a minimum on each slide
Keep a certain consistency in titles, backgrounds, colours and slide transitions
Run the show for final adjustments, stand back from the screen at least a meter, perhaps ask a colleague to assist and to give useful ideas
Don’t:
Work on the visual part before adding the necessary textUse too many pictures and graphics as it would drive away the attention from the main textUse too many sentences, focus more on keywordsRead the material directly from the screen
Keep it Simple
• Colors• Animations/Transitions• Sounds• Content• Pictures/Graphics
Colour - Bad
• Using a font colour that does not contrast with the background colour is hard to read
• Using colour for decoration is distracting and annoying.• Using a different colour for each point is unnecessary
• Using a different colour for secondary points is also unnecessary• Trying to be creative can also be bad
fonts• Don’t use fonts that are ridiculous to read. • It does not help anyone• There are many fonts you can use• Make sure they are easy to read at a distance.
Poorly Chosen Design Template or Design Theme
graphics
Overkill?
Makes you perfect!!!
Making the presentation memorable
• Study at the Wharton Research Centre • Using visual slides had a dramatic effect on
message retention. • The effect of using visuals is truly staggering!• “A picture is worth a thousand words" is as
true today as it has always been.
Background
• Pretty, simplistic• & consistent
Practice Your PresentationUse a data projector to view your presentation:
Is it easy to read the text?
Is the amount of information on each slide kept to a minimum?
Are there any distracting elements?
Don't read your material directly from the screen (use the slides as prompts, outlines, or conversation points, not cue cards)
Don't leave all the lights on in the room (be sure people can actually see the screen)
"If you fail to prepare, you are prepared to fail"
Rule 1. Rehearse against the clock• Practice your presentation against the clock. • Allow extra time for questions• Watch out for nerves • Take in a clock or take off your wrist watch
Presentation
• Don’t rely on PowerPoint• Interact with the audience• Use other visual aids if appropriate
• Do practice your presentation• Do be sure your equipment works
• Have a backup plan ready
The presentation should be unique
• Do make your PowerPoint unique• You’ve seen one, you’ve seen them all
Use Good Design & Contrast
