Getting Started

5
Choosing a Design Template
Avoid templates with themes that don’t fit your information
If your content includes images, avoid templates with large background graphics
Streamlined templates with minimal background graphics present a professional image
6
Content of A Slide
• Purpose Complement speaker Talk ≠ technical report
• Density 7 lines/page 4 words/line
7
Speaker Reads Slides
•A speaker may put his entire presentation on his slides. He turns his back to the audience and reads the slides aloud. Perhaps he feels this approach guarantees all the information will get to the audience.•This may be the most annoying way to give a presentation. Audience members feel insulted: they already know how to read! They wonder why the lecturer doesn’t simply hand out a copy of the slides.•The visual presentation dominates the presenter. The presenter is not adding any value to what is on the slides.
8
Speaker Interprets Slides
•Slides dominate Provide all content Audience’s attention
•Speaker supports Faces slides Helps audience understand
9
Slides Enhance Speaker
• Speaker dominates Faces audience Provides content
• Slides support speaker Reinforce message Orient listeners

Well-lit room: use light back ground and dark text

11
Wall of White
• Increases glare• Causes eyestrain• Distracts from speaker
12
Red/Blue Conflict
Red letters on blue backgroundcreates “flicker effect”
Blue letters on red backgroundjust as bad
13
Color Wheel
• Primary colors (outside)
• Secondary colors (inside – combine adjacent primary colors)
14
Readability• Make sure people in the back can read it!• High contrast between text and background• Be careful with busy backgrounds
This is good
This is not good
This is good

15
Choose Color Carefully
Similar intensities draw attention but makedetails hard to see.
Strong, clean contrastdraws attention, makes
details easy to see
16
Low Contrast
White on yellow Yellow on white
Black on blue Blue on black
3 colour information.ppt
17
Make It Clear (Colours)
• Use contrasting colours • Light on dark vs dark on light• Use complementary colours
18
Fonts can express a mood
• Comic sans is a gentle font• BettysHand is very relaxed • Diner makes you think of the 1950’s• Tinkertoy is a good elementary font• Schools often use the Kids font• Century Schoolbook is a formal font• Don’t let the font become distracting!
19
Project a Clear Font

21
Use sans serif fonts.
Sans serif:Arial, 24-pt
Involvement
The importance of a topic to the speaker.
Serif:Bookman, 24-pt
Involvement
The importance of atopic to the speaker.
22
Information about fonts
• Type can express moods and emotions as well as images can
• Type can be serious and business-like• Don’t let the typeface contradict your
message• No more than 3 fonts in no more than 4
sizes during a presentation
23
• Serif fonts are difficult to read on screen• Sanserif fonts are clearer• Italics are difficult to read on screen• Normal or bold fonts are clearer• Underlines may signify hyperlinks• Instead, use colours to emphasise
Make It Clear (Fonts)
24
Make It Clear (Capitalisation)
• ALL CAPITAL LETTERS ARE DIFFICULT TO READ
• Upper and lower case letters are easier
25
HOW ABOUT CAPITAL LETTERS ?
• Make limited use of all capital letters• Our eyes need to capture the shapes of
the letters above and below the line• Words in all capital letters have nearly
the same visual shape• What does this say….
26
Make It Big
27
Make it Big (Text)
• This is Arial 12
• This is Arial 18
• This is Arial 24
• This is Arial 32• This is Arial 36
• This is Arial 44
28
Make It Big (How to Estimate)
Look at it from 2 metres away2 m
29
Make It Clear (Numbers)
Use numbers for lists with sequenceFor example:
How to put an elephant into a fridge?
1. Open the door of the fridge2. Put the elephant in3. Close the door
30
Make It Clear (Numbers)
How to put a giraffe into a fridge?
1. Open the door of the fridge
2. Take out the elephant
3. Put the giraffe in
4. Close the door
31
Make It Clear (Bullets)
Use bullets to show a list without• Priority• Sequence• Hierarchy, …..
32
Typical Eye Movement
• Upper left• Upper right• Lower left• Lower right
33
Eye Flow
The eye flows from top left to bottom right and spends 60% of time on the top half of leaflet

Mixing Important/ Unimportant Words
• The isoefficiency and the scalability metrics of a parallel algorithm are crucial
• The typical parallel computers of the future will have thousands of CPUs and terabytes of RAM

Efficiency Expresses processor utilization Speedup, number of processors

Grammatical Parallelism
Not Parallel:Criteria to Assess Alarm System Price Effectiveness How easily the alarm could be installed
Parallel:Criteria to Assess Alarm System Price Effectiveness Ease of installation
42
Use Parallelism
Not Parallel: Lyse cells in buffer 5 minute centrifuging Supernatant is removed
Parallel: Lyse cells in buffer Centrifuge for 5 minutes Remove supernatant
43
“Fly In” Fails
• Could you read this?• How about this one?• Maybe the third time is the charm!
44
“Wipe from Left” Works
• Less distracting• Reduces eye movement• Increases readability
45
Displaying Visuals
46
GRAPHICS
Standard Personalized
47
GRAPHICS
Tired and overworked clipart
Fresh and memorable photo
48
Displaying Visuals
• Select visuals purposefully What visuals illustrate a point? Make
a claim? Help to prove an argument?
• Design easy-to-read visuals Are the visuals easy to read by all
members of your audience?
49
Displaying Visuals
• Insert needed visuals
• Use color
• Resize appropriately
• Draw attention That was purelygratuitous!
50
Animating: Tips
• Custom animation allows you to animate text, visuals, or line work
• Custom animation should be used purposefully (and sparingly!)
Animating should help audience comprehend your message
Don’t animate solely for aesthetic purposes
51
• Supplement presentation• Simple and clear• Outline of main points
• Serve audience’s needs not of speaker’s

Mint candy consumption is expected to grow rapidly over the next five years
– Current capacity will reach maximum next year
– May want to add capacity meet demand
Pyramid Principle” requires you to begin with the insight or conclusion and then follow up with the support
We should consider adding capacity to meet growing demand
– Mint candy market is expected to grow rapidly over the next five years (CAGR 30%)
– Our capacity will reach maximum next year
