Sections
Right-click on a slide to add sections. Sections can help to organize your slides or facilitate collaboration between multiple authors.
Notes
Use the Notes section for delivery notes or to provide additional details for the audience. View these notes in Presentation View during your presentation.
Keep in mind the font size (important for accessibility, visibility, videotaping, and online production)
Coordinated colors
Pay particular attention to the graphs, charts, and text boxes.
Consider that attendees will print in black and white or grayscale. Run a test print to make sure your colors work when printed in pure black and white and grayscale.
Graphics, tables, and graphs
Keep it simple: If possible, use consistent, non-distracting styles and colors.
Label all graphs and tables.
To view this presentation, first, turn up your volume and second, launch the self-running slide show.
The first rule is: Treat your audience as king.
And a thought-provoking video moves your audience in a way that can change not only minds, but hearts.
The last rule is: Cultivate healthy relationships (with your slides and your audience)
Rule number 4: Practice design, not decoration.
The second rule is: Spread ideas and move people.
…and you will undoubtedly find favor with the king.
A sequential build adds a sense of suspense.
The next rule is: Help them see what you are saying.
Allows you to connect eye-to-eye with your audience in a meaningful way.
…and replace those words with a picture, chart or diagram. Then apply a consistent treatment to your graphics to give your whole presentation a unified look so that your audience is attracted to, rather than distracted from, your message.
Do you have a main point? Consider putting just one word on the slide by itself. Want them to remember a few items? Don’t show everything at once. Instead, show one item at a time. Have a picture that expresses your idea? Scale that picture so that it fills the slide. Have a quote that says it all? Let it say it and remove everything else.
and keep the audience’s needs top of mind,
