Preparing your slide presentation
Suggestions for effective slide presentations:
- Make use of the PowerPoint template that we will supply.
- Limit each slide to one main idea. Do not include more than you will discuss.
- Use text, photos, charts and graphics. To ensure clarity, however, avoid using all of these on one slide.
- Ensure that the entire audience can read all your slides, not just the people sitting in the front row. Slides that will project well can be easily read when held up to an overhead light, while poorly legible slides require a slide viewer.
- In general, use no more than five to seven lines on one slide. More than seven words per line are usually illegible.
- Leave a space roughly the height of a capital letter between lines.
- Font sizes should range from 18 to 48 point. Use size to establish a hierarchy for headings, sub-headings and text.
- Choose one or two typefaces that are easy to read. Do not clutter your slide with too many fonts. We recommend Arial.
- Use blue or gray background rather than black or white. Your text and graphics will look better and be easier to read.
- Leave blank space around charts and graphs. Text placed too close to graphs (except for labels and numbers) makes slides look cluttered.
