Make your 1st or 2nd slide an outline of your presentation◦Eg: previous slide
Follow the order of your outline for the rest of the presentation
Only place main points on the outline slide◦Eg: Use the titles of each slide as main points

Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation Write in point form, not complete sentences Include 4-5 points per slide Avoid wordiness: use key words and phrases only

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.

Show one point at a time:
◦Will help audience concentrate on what you are saying
◦Will prevent audience from reading ahead
◦Will help you keep your presentation focused

Transition effects, Animations and sound can be annoying. Use sparingly.
Animation effects can be interesting when used in moderation.
Too much animation is distracting.
Consider using animated clip art.
Consider using custom animation.

Use at least a 24-point font
Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points (recommended: at least 16-point font, maximum 20-point font)
Use a standard sans-serif font such as Arial or Helvetica

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

Use a color of font that contrasts sharply with the background◦Eg: black font on white background
Use color to reinforce the logic of your structure◦E: light blue title and dark blue text
Use color to emphasize a point◦But only use this occasionally
11
![Page 12: 1 Systems Science & Industrial Engineering April, 2012](https://reader036.vdocuments.site/reader036/viewer/2022062321/56649e4e5503460f94b4428c/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Using a font color that does not contrast with the background colour 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

Use backgrounds such as this one that are attractive, but simple
Use light backgrounds
Use the same background consistently throughout your presentation

Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or difficult to read from
Always be consistent with the background that you use

Use graphs rather than just charts and words◦Data in graphs is easier to comprehend & retain than is raw data◦Trends are easier to visualize in graph form
Always title your graphs
Give credits to the source
If graph is taken from a journal or any scientific or research work, provide citation in parentheses at the end of title

End your presentation with a simple question slide to:
