9 PowerPoint Tips for a Great Presentation

9 PowerPoint Tips for a Great Presentation


Create some variation:
Picture after picture and bullet list after bullet list will be boring. Try to keep it exciting.

Use a nice quality theme:
Same here; your audience has seen the standard a million times.

Don’t use over the top charts:
If you use a pie chart; don’t a have it split up in 40 categories.

Pick your colours:
Colours bring emotion into your presentation, do some research on the net and choose them wisely.

Keep it simple:
You are telling the story and don’t let you audience be distracted by what they see on the monitor.

Choose your fonts well:
What happens if your clients can’t read your presentation?

Limit transitions and animations:
Try to keep it subtle and don’t make a movie of your slide.

Use video or audio:
Use audio clips such as interviews but keep away from the cheesy sounds like clapping audience.

Use only high quality graphics:
Don’t use the PowerPoint clip art. Your audience has seen them a million times. Grab some nice photos from the net or take some pictures yourself.
