This document provides guidance on creating engaging multimedia presentations by adjusting slide design for the audience. It discusses analyzing the purpose and situation, choosing colors that convey the right message for the intended culture, using the right amount of visuals and text, and effectively employing special effects. Warm colors highlight important elements while bold colors convey primary ideas. The 6x6 rule limits bullet points to six per slide and six words per bullet. Visuals can support ideas across multiple slides. Effects should enhance the message, not bore audiences.

12-4b Adjusting Slide Design to Your Audience

Dealing with how you create the appearance of your slides based on audience’s reactions

Guess the audience's reaction to your presentation(the color, font, size of letters, layout, effects,etc.)

 Find appropriate solutions adjust the slide

 The meaning of color

Warm colors—reds, oranges, and yellows—are best to highlight important elements

bold colors — blue, green, and purple —are generally best for conveying primary ideas

The messages that colors convey can vary from culture to culture  choose colors and design elements
carefully

The US Vietnam
Blue credibility, tranquility, loyalty, faith, and trust
conservatism, and trust
Green interaction, growth, health, peace, and stability
money, and stability
Purple spirituality, royalty, wealth, knowledge, and
dreams, and humor success

The text color provides high contrast background (white, yellow on dark background)  readable

Adapt the slide colors depend on the lightness of the room (where your presentation will be given)

 
light text — dark background — darkened rooms dark font — dark background
dark text — light background — lighted rooms light font — lighted background
colors look vibrant on your monitor may look washed out when projected onto a screen

 The Power of Images.

Adapt the amount of text on slides to how audiences use the slides

The 6-x-6 rule: “Six bullets per screen, max; six words per bullet, max”
F Limit Bullet Points: Each slide - six bullet points (short phrases, concise, parallel, and balanced
grammatically)
F Constrict Word Count: Each bullet point - six words
F Break Down Complex Ideas: breaking complex ideas down across multiple slides
F Use Visuals: alter layouts by repositioning, resizing, changing the fonts; using diagrams, infographics,
charts, pictures or even videos can support your bullet points and convey complex ideas

Overused templates and clip art produce “visual clichés” that bore audiences

 The Impact of Special Effects.

Anticipate audiances’ reactions to special effects

Use animation and sound effects—flying objects, swirling text, clashing symbols – aproriately

Add animation features - convey message or add interest to the content
