• Using visual information to support text content
  is the great way to deliver your message to your
  audience and look professional in the eyes of
  observers.
• However, if the presentation is prepared poorly,
  it can achieve the opposite effect and cause some
  problems for the presenter.
• This presentation is a guide to creating
  presentations that look professional and convey
  information effectively.

Creating slides

• Do not try to use slides from other
  presentations. Make your own presentation unique
  and use your creativity.
• The design of your work should not distract the
  viewers. Otherwise, your viewers might be looking
  at a gorgeous picture of African landscape and
  forget about the text (you can experience it just
  now).

• Do not use fonts that can be difficult to read or
  usually are not used in professional
  presentations. For example, it is a better idea
  to use Calibri rather than Comic Sans Ms, which
  is mostly used for school presentations for
  children.

5

• Dedicate some space on your slides for graphic
  elements. Combination of graphics and text
  creates much better impression and professional
  look.
• Do not let your imagination run wild about the
  design. You should not impress your viewer with
  great transitions and pictures only.

6
Remain consistent

• In order to remain consistent use the same style
  for your font and pictures throughout your
  presentation.
• The colors you use in your work should match
  unless you are creating a presentation about the
  colors of the rainbow. If you are unsure about
  what colors to be used, turn to build-in tools
  that show best matching colors for inspiration.

7
Use contrast

• It is thought that white background with black
  text content is one of the best choices. However,
  many people find this style boring because of
  lack of creativity.
• In case if you want to use different colors, feel
  free to do it. Just bear in mind that the colors
  should match in order for text to be readable.

8
Use images

• Add images to your presentation.
• The images should not be used to decorate your
  work.
• Remember that one picture can convey more details
  than a thousand words.
