Custom Animation: Keep it Simple

Do:

• Make all of the animation on the slide the same.

• Only animate the entrance.

• Good animation:– Box– Checkerboard– Blinds– Fade In

Don’t:

• Make everything on the slide have a different effect.

• Don’t animate an object more than once.

• Bad animation:– Swish/Bounce/Flip– Spinner/Swivel– Pinwheel– Grow n’ turn– Typewriter

Slide Backgrounds

Slide Backgrounds

To focus the audience’s attention text should be placed away from the

borders.

Slide Notes• Backgrounds should be

appropriate to the topic.

• Pictures should be appropriate to the topic.

• Do Not use pictures as backgrounds.– 2 or 3 small pictures are

better than 1 large picture– Background pictures block

reader from seeing the information

• Color should not distract from the slide.– Choose a plain

background color• Dark background = light colored font

• Light background = dark colored font

• Sounds should enhance the presentation, not distract from it.

• Slide transitions should be seamless.

• Outline Format

• Use Keywords

• Limit writing

• Presenter Embellishes

Remember that PowerPoint should

be used as an aid to your

presentation. Your audience should

get the information form you; not just

the slide. Whatever you do- DO

NOT read what is on the slide aloud

to your audience.
