How to make my presentation more presentable and eye catching

1. Making Presentations That Audiences Will Love
2. Use a Template
   • Use a set font and color scheme.
   • Different styles are disconcerting to the audience.
   • You want the audience to focus on what you present, not the way you present.
3. Fonts
   • Choose a clean font that is easy to read.
   • Roman and Gothic typefaces are easier to read than Script or Old English .
   • Stick with one or two types of fonts.
4. Font Size
   • Bulleted items should be no smaller than 22 points.
   • The title should be no smaller than 28 points.
5. Bullets
   • Keep each bullet to one line, two at the most.
   • Limit the number of bullets in a screen to six, four if there is a large title, logo, picture, etc.
   • This is known as “cueing”
   • You want to “cue” the audience in on what you are going to say.
   • Cues can be thought of as a brief “preview.”
   • This gives the audience a “framework” to build upon.
6. Bullets (con.)
   • If you crowd too much text, the audience will not read it.
   • Too much text makes it look busy and is hard to read.
   • Why should they spend the energy reading it, when you are going to tell them what it says?
   • Our reading speed does not match our listening speed; hence, they confuse instead of reinforcing each other.
7. Caps and Italics
   • Do not use all capital letters
   • Makes text hard to read
