• This media (PPTX) is designed to ENHANCE your presentation, not BE the presentation.
• Remember, only you can prevent “Death by PowerPoint”
Guidelines and Recommendations
![Page 6: PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Recommendations. Insert Your Presentation Title Here Insert Presenter(s) Name(s), CPP? Insert Your Title Here Insert Your](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e8f5503460f94b93283/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
• Highlight key points or reinforce what is being presented by the facilitator
• Should be short and to the point, include only
key words and phrases for visual, reinforcement
• In order for your presentation to fit on most screens, text and images should be placed within 95% of the PowerPoint slide. This “action safe” area is seen in the next slide.

Caps and Italics• DO NOT USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS– Makes text hard to read– Conceals acronyms– Denies their use for EMPHASIS
• Italics– Used for “quotes”– Used to highlight thoughts or ideas– Used for book, journal, or magazine titles
![Page 9: PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Recommendations. Insert Your Presentation Title Here Insert Presenter(s) Name(s), CPP? Insert Your Title Here Insert Your](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e8f5503460f94b93283/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Colors• Reds and oranges are high-energy but can be
difficult to stay focused on.
• Greens, blues, and browns are mellower, but not as attention grabbing.
• Reds and Greens can be difficult to see for those who are color blind.

Graphs and Charts
Make sure the audience can read them!
![Page 11: PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Recommendations. Insert Your Presentation Title Here Insert Presenter(s) Name(s), CPP? Insert Your Title Here Insert Your](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e8f5503460f94b93283/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Avoid using graphics that are difficult to read. In this example, the bright colors on a white background and the small font make the graph hard to read. It would be very difficult to see, especially in the back of a room.

Illustrations• Use only when needed, otherwise they
become distracters instead of communicators
• They should relate to the message and help make a point
• Ask yourself if it makes the message clearer
• Simple diagrams are great communicators
Do !

Limit Each Slide to One Idea
• Use Bullet Points to Cover Components of Each
Idea
![Page 16: PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Recommendations. Insert Your Presentation Title Here Insert Presenter(s) Name(s), CPP? Insert Your Title Here Insert Your](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e8f5503460f94b93283/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Bullets• Keep each bullet to 1 line, 2 at the most• Limit the number of bullets in a screen to
6, 4 if there is a large title, logo, picture, etc.– This is known as “cueing”– You want to “cue” the audience on what you’re
going to say
• Cues are a brief “preview”• Gives the audience a “framework” to
build upon
![Page 17: PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Recommendations. Insert Your Presentation Title Here Insert Presenter(s) Name(s), CPP? Insert Your Title Here Insert Your](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e8f5503460f94b93283/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Bullets (cont.)• If you crowd too much text, the audience
won’t read it– Too much text looks busy and is hard to read– Why read it, when you’re going to tell them
what it says?– Our reading speed does not match our listening
speed; hence, they confuse instead of reinforce
![Page 18: PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Recommendations. Insert Your Presentation Title Here Insert Presenter(s) Name(s), CPP? Insert Your Title Here Insert Your](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e8f5503460f94b93283/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Avoid the “All Word” SlideAnother thing to avoid is the use of a large block paragraph to introduce your information. Attendees do not like to have what is on the screen, don’t read them verbatim. So, please use short, bulleted statements and avoid typing out long sentences on to the slides. Also, it is difficult for some to listen and read a large amount of text at the same time. This chart is hard to read- an example of a bad chart
Don’t
![Page 19: PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Recommendations. Insert Your Presentation Title Here Insert Presenter(s) Name(s), CPP? Insert Your Title Here Insert Your](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e8f5503460f94b93283/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
• To make a slide stand out, change the font, or add animation.
![Page 20: PowerPoint Presentation Tips & Recommendations. Insert Your Presentation Title Here Insert Presenter(s) Name(s), CPP? Insert Your Title Here Insert Your](https://reader037.vdocuments.mx/reader037/viewer/2022110101/56649e8f5503460f94b93283/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Limit Animation!• Use the same animation throughout the
entire presentation• Using more than one can be very
distracting– The audience will only see the animation
and not the message you’re trying to get across Do
!

Points to Remember
• Limit each slide to 1 idea• Limit each bullet point to only a few words
to avoid long sentences that go on and on!• Limit animation – Too much animation can
be distracting.

YOU
• Do not use the media to hide you• The audience came to SEE you• The media should ENHANCE the
presentation, not BE the presentation• If you’re only going to read from the slides,
then just provide them the slides!
