Tips in Creating an
Effective Presentation:
• Minimize
• Clarity
• Simplicity
• Visuals
• Consistency
• Contrast
Tips in Creating an
Effective Presentation:
• Minimize
- Keep slide count to a minimum to
maintain a clear message and to keep the
audience attentive. Remember that the
presentation is just a visual aid. Most info
should still come from the reporter.
Tips in Creating an
Effective Presentation:
• Clarity
- Avoid being fancy by using a font style
that is easy to read. Make sure that it is also big
enough to read by the audience.
Tips in Creating an
Effective Presentation:
• Simplicity
- Use bullets or short sentences.
Summarize the information on the screen to
have your audience focus on what the speaker
is saying than on reading the slide.
Tips in Creating an
Effective Presentation:
• Visuals
- Use graphics to help your presentation
but not too many to distract the audience in
addition, instead of using table of data. Use
charts and graphs.
Tips in Creating an
Effective Presentation:
• Consistency
- Make your design uniform. Avoid having
different font styles and background.
Tips in Creating an
Effective Presentation:
• Contrast
- Use light font on dark background or
vice versa. This is done because it is easier to
read on the screen.
