Powerpoint Tips

Powerpoints are a tool that our generation has grown up with. However, this doesn't mean that making an effective powerpoint presentation is easy. My first guideline for making a powerpoint is to keep it simple. Don't get caught up with all of the special effects and custom animations, instead, pick one and go with it. There is nothing more annoying than watching a powerpoint with 50 different effects per slide. My second guideline is limit the length and number of bullet points and text, this will keep your audience more involved. My third guideline is to take advantage of certain charts and graphs that display visual evidence. My fourth guideline is to insert an audio or video clip, youtube videos can be embedded and these are great to keep the audience involved. My final guideline is to use images and graphics that are high in quality. Low quality graphics can lead the audience to be critical of the presentation.
