13
http://www.fs.fed.us/r9/alleghenyhttp://www.fs.fed.us/r9/allegheny


14/16

Every presentation should have a title slide. Make sure the title relatesto the presentation content.

Maintain a consistent color scheme throughout the presentation.

Keep the background simple, making sure the text can be seen clearly.

Avoid long lines of text. Avoid too many lines of text. No line shouldconsist of more than seven words; no slide should consist of more thanseven lines. (7 X 7 Rule)

For bulleted text, avoid using a single bullet or more than five bullets perslide. Dont use more than two levels of bullets.

Use consistent wording in bulleted text.

Use clip art that relates to the content and doesnt distract from themessage. Avoid the temptation to jazz up a slide show with too muchclip art.

Keep charts simple. The most effective charts are pie charts with threeor four slices and column charts with three or four columns.

Provide some form of handout so your audience can keep track of thepresentation.

Your final slide should provide a recommendation or summary.
