What can make a boring presentation?
![Page 16: Powerpoint](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062617/54c722814a7959e16f8b45da/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Too much text
Sometimes what people do is treat a presentation like an essay, and they feel that they have to write everything down to show that they have thought of the right things. However, a presentation is a spoken medium and it is difficult to read and listen at the same time. So try to avoid writing too much down and prepare properly so that you say what it is you want to say and not have it all written down.

Too many bullet points• Bullet points can make things:
– useful,– Easy– Clear
• But use too much and it will become:– Difficult to read– And what you want to say may be lost among all the text
• If you have a lot to say try to:– Separate your points out onto separate slides– Reduce the amount of text per slide– Think whether you really need to include everything

Too much data

Bad colour schemes
• Nobody can read this• And it looks horrible• So don’t even try it.• It’s not big• And it’s not clever!

Font• A font size that is too small
•Or too big• Or uses an inappropriate font style• Or uses too much emphasis• Is a waste of time

Suggestions for creating a good powerpoint presentation

Reducing the words on a slide
• Often a powerpoint slide has far too many words on it for people to read properly
• It is often a good idea to reduce the amount of words on a slide so that it has more visual impact
• Try to highlight one key point per bullet until you can remember all the content when you look at that word
• Then, remove all the other text on the slide leaving only the key words
