What makes the design of a .ppt presentation ineffective?

Slides read word for word (60%)

Text too small (51%)

Full sentences used (48%)

Bad PowerPoint, Press Release 2003 survey, www.communicateusingtechnology.com

“The purpose of using visual aids is to enhance your presentation, not upstage it.”

Lenny Laskowski (PowerPointers.com)

Before we begin: Slide Master

Have only the minimum required text on each slide.

Tip #1

When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness.

That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.

Too Much Text

We hold these truths to be self-evident

that all men are created equal,

that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are:

life,

liberty

the pursuit of happiness

Text on Slide: Better

Be consistent and sparing in your use of transitions and animations.

Tip #2

Moving Text

• When text appears, we don’t

want the audience to be watching

the animation.

• Use the

“Appear effect”

Not

“FANCY EFFECTS”

Be consistent in your choice of bullets, font, and colors.

Tip #3

Reveal the KEY IDEA only

A bullet point is a short summation of all you know about the idea

COMPOST QUALITY and FOOD SAFETY CONCERNS

A recent survey of ‘finished’ compost products produced at 30 California commercial facilities

Found large variation in many characteristics

Indicates highly variable feedstocks and process management

Poor process management, curing conditions, and cross-contamination of equipment are most common cause

This is a good title size. Verdana 37 point = sans serif.

This is a good subtitle or bullet point size. Times 36 point = serif.

This is about as small as you want to go for content at 24 points.

This font size is not recommended for content. Verdana 12 point.

Font Sizes

This is a good mix of

colors. Readable!

This is a bad mix of

colors. Low contrast.

Unreadable!

This is a good mix of

colors. Readable!

This is a bad mix of

colors on white.

Unreadable!

Appropriate use: Tables & Figures

Emphasize key parts so that your points are stronger.

Animate the graph or table elements

Use drawing tools to highlight a portion of the table or graph

Use strong contrasting color for drawing element

OSL Results

Climate chronology of Central Asia during the Holocene

climate changed from cold and dry to much warmer and wetter

White space is our friend.

Tip #5

2. The data suggest that the high-level wells tap interconnected, though

bounded, aquifers whose rate of water level decline is inversely proportional

to its volume. Future well drilling for high-level potable sources must include

accurate, well-designed aquifer tests that will aid in the determination of

geologic boundaries to provide information on the geometry of the aquifer.

3. The data suggest that there may be more than geological mechanism that

created the high-level aquifer.

4. The data suggest that there is a water level pattern observed in the high-level

wells with Keopu being the “drain” for the ground-water flow system. The

ground-water flux south of Keopu is to the north, and north of Keopu, the

ground-water flow is to the south.

5. Some high-level wells do exhibit quasi-stable water levels, and show little

variation over time. Use of long-term water level transducers in these wells

should continue in conjunction with long-term water level transducers in those

wells that show water level decline. Real time correlation between water

levels in the wells with climatic conditions measured at Lanihau Rain Gage

will provide better insight into the behavior of the potable high-level aquifers.

Do use some graphics in your slideshow. Nothing is more boring than an all-text slideshow.

Choose them carefully, though.
