 A presentation can also contain transitions between slides.
5/30/2023 Basic Computer Skill 72

73. Tips for Effective PowerPoint Presentations
Fonts
 Font Style Should be Readable Recommended fonts: Arial, Tahoma, Veranda
 This is a good title size Verdana 40 point
 A good subtitle or bullet point size Verdana 32 point
 Content text should be no smaller than Verdana 24 point.
 Avoid italicized fonts as they are difficult to read quickly.
 No more than 6-8 words per line
 For bullet points, use the “6 x 6 Rule.”
 Use dark text on light background or light text on dark background. However,
dark backgrounds sometimes make it difficult for some people to read the text.
 Do not use all caps (except for titles).
5/30/2023 Basic Computer Skill 73

74. Graphics and Design
 Keep the background consistent and subtle.
 Use only enough text when using charts or graphs to explain the concept.
 Clearly label the graphic.
 Keep the design clean and uncluttered. Leave empty space around the text and
graphics.
 Use quality clipart and use it sparingly. The graphic should relate to and enhance
the topic of the slide.
 Try to use the same style graphics throughout the presentation (e.g., cartoons,
photographs)
 Limit the number of graphics on each slide.
 Avoid flashy graphics and noisy animation effects unless they relate directly to
the slide.
5/30/2023 Basic Computer Skill 74

75. Color
 Limit the number of colors on a single screen.
 Use no more than four colors on one chart.
 Check all colors on a projection screen before the actual
presentation.
 They may project differently than what appears on the monitor.
5/30/2023 Basic Computer Skill 75

76. General Presentation
 Check the spelling and grammar.
 Do not read the presentation. Practice the presentation so you can speak
from bullet points. The text should be a cue for the presenter rather than a
message for the viewer.
 It is often more effective to have bulleted points appear one at a time so the
audience listens to the presenter rather than reading the screen.
 Use a wireless mouse, or pick up the wired mouse, so you can move around
as you speak.
 If the content is complex, print out the slides so the audience can take notes.
 Do not turn your back on the audience. Try to position the monitor so you
can speak from it.
