Planning
When planning a presentation you need to decide:• What is the purpose of the presentation?• Who is the target audiences?• What content (words, images, multimedia) will be
appropriate to that purpose and audience?• What style (typography, colour) will be appropriate to that
purpose and audience?• How will the presentation be structured?• How will presentation delivery and technological skills be
practised?

Words
• Aim for 6x6 (6 lines of text with maximum of 6 words)
• If a word can be cut, cut• Include only key information• Keep the language simple• Avoid jargon or unfamiliar abbreviations • If a handout is to be distributed make sure the
words will make sense when read several weeks later

Images
• Graphic images should relate to words• Explain what a graph shows• Avoid graphs with illegible labels• Avoid complicated graphs• Avoid clip art• Use a maximum of one image per slide

Video, Animation, Sound
Video, animation and sound clips should be:
• Short• High quality• Used only to illustrate a point

Typography
• Use light background with dark letters• Use size 24 point or larger• Use a sans serif font• Avoid underline, italics, special fonts, all capital
letters• Don’t centre text – left align it• Avoid gimmicks like flying text• Avoid website linkages as the text will be illegible

Colour
• Templates unify a presentation• Use a design template (one provided or design your
own)• Decide on template before you create presentation• Ensure template colours and images are
appropriate to subject and audience• Only use bright colours such as red for specific
effects

Structure
• Try to keep length down to 5-15 minutes• Ensure there is a clear structure• One useful structure is:
1. say what you’re going to say2. say it3. then say what you’ve said
• Ensure the sequence is logical• Avoid gimmicky transitions between slides• Break up a number of word-only slides with appropriate
image slides• End on a positive note

Delivery
• Practise your presentation using the hardware• Think of possible audience questions and your response• Speak audibly, clearly and don’t rush• Vary your tone of voice • Speak to the audience not the screen• Look audience members in the eye• Don’t read the text on the slide • Use slide text as a cue for your words• Don’t stand in front of the screen• Allow time for questions

Technological Skills
• Ensure you have backup equipment• Have files on a data stick not just laptop• Ensure you can operate laptop and projector• Ensure the projector is focused• Ensure the image fills the projector screen• Ensure slides are legible from back of room• Dim lights if necessary• Sound will require amplifier and loudspeakers
