Plan the Layout of the Presentation

Make your presentation easy to follow. Important topics should be at the start. Flow of topic should be linear.

Font Size
It will be appropriate to keep the font size at 32 points or more, so that the audience can easily read the contents.

Avoid Gaudy Fonts
In a professional presentation, you should steer clear of too much variety in the style of presentation. Different
kinds of fonts for different slides is not preferred. Use a font which is elegant and simple.
However, there is no rule as to which font should be used when. But, you must keep the style of the content
consistent throughout the presentation.

Correct Use of Grammar And Language
The grammar and language should be correct in your presentation, because if you make a mistake, that will
replicate to the number of persons in the audience. So you must present the contents error free in terms of
grammar, spellings and language by reading the content carefully.

Inserting Images, Drawings, Tables or Graphs

Try to avoid inserting more than two graphics (images, drawings, tables or charts) in any slide. Inserting too
many graphics becomes confusing for the audience.

Use Contrasting Colours for Text and Background

Colours used in presentation should have the quality that they aid visibility. The text colour should be in a
dark color and the background colour should be light. Keep the colour of the slide consistent throughout the
presentation.

Use a Slide Design Template to Keep Your Presentation Look Consistent
Use a single background on all slides. While using different backgrounds with different slides may look
stylish, it is easy for the audience to lose focus due to varying backgrounds.

Use Animations and Transitions Sparingly

While it may look fl ashy to use animations and transitions in a slide~ the audience may fi nd this distracting.
