Minimize
Keep slide counts to a minimum to maintain a
clear message and to keep the audience attentive.
Remember that the presentation is just a visual
aid. Most information should still come from the
reporter.
Clarity
Avoid being fancy by using a font style that is
easy to read. Make sure that is also big enough to
be read by the audience. Once you start making
your presentation, consider how big the screen is
during your report.
Simplicity
Use bullet or short sentences. Summarize the
information on the screen to have your audience
focus on what the speaker is saying than on
reading the slide. Limit the content to six lines
and seven words per line. This is known as the
6x7 rule.
Visuals
Use graphics to help in your presentation but not
too many to distract the audience. In addition,
instead of using table of data, use charts and
graphs.
Consistency
Make your design uniform. Avoid having
different fonts styles and backgrounds.
Contrast
Use light font on dark background or vise versa.
This is done so that it is easier to read. In most
instances, it is easier to read on screen if the
backgrounds is dark. This is due to the brightness
of the screen.
