PowerPoint Basics

Use a template. Use a set font and color scheme.

Different styles are disconcerting to the

audience.

15SHRM 2009


16/28

Appropriate Composition

One major concept per slide.

Heading for every slide.

Simple and balanced slides.

16SHRM 2009

Maximizing Visibility

Text must be large enough to be visible.(this is a 28 point Arial font).

This is BOLD.

For comparison, this is a 14 point Times New Roman font.

Do not make transparencies directly from pagesin books, reports or papers unless they can beenlarged.

17SHRM 2009


18/28

Use of Text (6x6 Rule)

> Outline of talk only.

> Use 6X6 rule: 6 lines per slide and 6 words to line.

> Full sentences not necessary.> Remove articles (the, a, an).

> Illustrate concepts where possible.

18SHRM 2009

Fonts

Choose a font that is easy to read. Roman and gothic typefaces are easier to read

than ScriptorOld English.

Colors

Contrasting or complementary colors are those

separated by another color.

Adjacent colors (next to each other) harmonize.

Colors that are directly opposite from one

another are said to clash.

21SHRM 2009


22/28

Backgrounds

White on dark background should not be usedif the audience is more than 20 feet away.

Having a dark background on a computer

screen reduces glare.

Light text on dark background is veryeffective for computer reading.

22SHRM 2009


23/28

Use of Images

Use one image per slide.

Use two images to provide contrast, but make

them big.

Draw arrows if needed for emphasis. Do not enlarge small images they blur.

Do not distort the image.

Credit the source.

title of article and journal.

Include references on last slide.

Use of Animation

Should enhance, not distract. Should not kill time.

Should be subtle.

Avoid animation schemes.

Use same transition between slides.

26/28

Timing and the Number of Slides

1 slide = 2 3 minutes.

Time yourself.

Leave time for questions.
