Title: A Really Bad Powerpoint Presentation!


1
A Really Bad Powerpoint Presentation!
  • First of all, dont use this template.

2
  • Avoid cheesy transitions.
  • And cheesy sound effects.

3
Stay away from bad Clipart
4
Be Careful in your Color Choice
  • Dont make things harder to look at than they
    should be.

5
Also you want to be consistent.
  • In Font Size
  • Font Style
  • And Slide Design.

6
Be Sparing in using Bullets
  • Bullets are useful to display important pieces of
    information.
  • Too many bullets on one page is a distraction.
  • It gets hard to read, and dilutes the importance
    of your chosen points.
  • Not to mention, that youll probably end up
    spending too much time on one slide.
  • You shouldnt have more than four bullets on one
    slide.
  • Even then, they should be short, and to the
    point.
  • Also be consistent in how they are displayed.
  • If most bullet points are 1 to 2 sentences long,
    then keep all your points at that length.
  • Also try to keep your fonts sizes consistent.
  • Although there can be some leeway in design.
  • Oh, and bullets should be complete thoughts.
  • Not partial.

7
Avoid large blocks of text
  • The reason you want to avoid large blocks of text
    is because you want to engage your audience, not
    have them sit back and simply read your
    presentation. Of course, even simply reading the
    presentation can be a chore when you have a large
    selection of unbroken text displayed up on the
    screen. You might be able to get away with
    having a large quote in your presentation, but
    only if it is VERY relevant to your material and
    you display it in a very readable and
    aesthetically pleasing way. Even then, it
    probably wont work all that well.

8
Graphs and Charts can be useful
  • But use them only when needed. Dont overuse
    them. And make sure that they are simple and
    clear.

9
Custom Animations can be Helpful
  • But make sure they have a purpose.

10
Finally
  • Be aware that it is the presenter that makes or
    breaks the presentation.
  • NOT JUST THE SLIDES!!!
