Page 16: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Tips to be Covered

Outlines Slide Structure Fonts Color Background Spelling and

Grammar Conclusions Questions

Page 17: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Outline

1st or 2nd slide ---- outline

Only main points on the outline slideEx: Use the titles of each slide as

main points

Page 18: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Slide Structure

1-2 slides per minute

Point / bullet form (no complete sent.)

4-5 points per slide

Key words and phrases only

Page 19: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Slide Structure - Bad

This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

Page 20: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Slide Structure – Good

Showing one point at a time will:help audience concentrate on what

you are saying

prevent audience from reading ahead

help you keep your presentation focused

Page 21: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Slide Structure - Animation

Do not use distracting animation

Do not go overboard with the animation

Be consistent with the animation that you use

Page 22: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Fonts - Good

Use at least an 18-point font Use different size fonts for main points

and secondary pointsthis font: 28-pointmain point font: 30-pointtitle font: 42-point

Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Arial

Page 23: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Fonts - Bad

If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written

CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ

Don’t use a complicated font

Page 24: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Color - Good

Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with the backgroundEx: blue font on white background

Use color to reinforce the logic of your structureEx: light blue title and dark blue text

Use color to emphasize a pointBut use this only occasionally

Page 25: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Color - Bad

Using a font color that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read

Using color for decoration is distracting and annoying.

Using a different color for each point is unnecessary Using a different color for secondary points

is also unnecessary Trying to be creative can also be bad

Page 26: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Background - Good

Use backgrounds such as this one (attractive but simple)

Use backgrounds which are light

Use the same background consistently

Page 27: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Background – Bad

Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from

Always be consistent with the background that you use

Page 28: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Graphs

Use graphs rather than just charts and words

Data - easier to comprehend & retain

Trends - easier to visualize

Page 29: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Spelling and Grammar

Proofread your slides for:speling mistakesthe use of of repeated wordsgrammatical errors you might have

make

Have someone else check your presentation!

Page 30: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Conclusion

Use an effective and strong closingAudience is likely to remember your

last words

Use a conclusion slide to:Summarize the main points Suggest future avenues of research

Page 31: Creating Effective Visual Aids  (AVs)

Questions??

End with a simple question slide to:Invite your audience to ask questionsProvide a visual aid during question

periodAvoid ending a presentation abruptly
