Presentation Design Tips

Some experts in the field of communication consider presentations to be an art, rather than a science. The implication is that significant thought should be given to the development of a presentation in order to make it them more effective. Here are some simple tips to you should consider before developing a presentation:

· First do your homework- Ask yourself a few questions before you start developing your presentation: Who is your audience? What can you do to keep it interesting? How long should the presentation be? What kind of tone (for example, humorous, serious, or informative) is best suited for this presentation?

· Organize your thoughts- It’s helpful to make an outline of the topics and main points you want to cover before you start to develop the presentation. Also, you may want to create a simple storyboard of your presentation before you developing it in your presentation software.

· Match visuals to words- It is recommended that you include graphics in your presentation, but use them wisely, so that they support the information you are presenting. Also, use color wisely and try to stick to a maximum of two or three colors.

· General Guidelines- It is recommended that you use no more than 6 lines of text per slide. This helps to avoid information overload. Also, always contrast text against background colors to maintain readability.
