    PRESENTATIONS

    5 6 7 8
    1. COMPOSE SLIDES

    Don’t copy & paste slides from different sources.


    Keep the design very basic and simple. It shall not distract.
    Pick an easy to read font face.
    Carefully select font sizes for headers and text.
    Leave room for highlights, such as images or take home
    messages.
    Decorate scarcely but well.
    Restrict the room your design takes up and don’t ever let
    the design restrict your message.
    2. USE CONSISTENCY

    Consistently use the same font face and sizes on all slides.
    Match colors.

    You may use logo, highlight headers, create a special


    frame for figures/images or the whole slide but don’t overload
    your slides with these elements.
    3. USE CONTRAST

    Black text on a white background will always be the best


    but also the most boring choice.
    If you want to play with colors, keep it easy on the eyes and
    always keep good contrast in mind so that your readers do
    not have to strain to guess what you’ve typed on your slide.
    4. APPLY BRILLIANCE

    Carefully use color to highlight your message!


    Don’t weaken the color effect by using too many colors at
    an instance.
    Make a brilliant choice: match colors for design and good
    contrast to highlight your message.
    5. KISS

    Keep It Straight and Simple.
    Keywords only.
    No sentences!
    Never read your slides, talk freely.
    6. ADD IMAGES

    Have more images in your slides than text.


    But do not use images to decorate!
    Images can reinforce or complement your message.
    Use images to visualize and explain.
    A picture can say more than a thousand words.
    7. DON’T BE SILLY

    Use animations and media sparingly.


    Use animations to draw attention
    Use animations to clarify a model or emphasize an effect.
    8. KEEP YOUR AUDIENCE IN MIND

    What do they know?


    What do you need to tell them?
    What do they expect?
    What will be interesting to them?
    What can you teach them?
    What will keep them focused?
    Answer these questions and boil your slides down to the very essentials.
    In your talk, describe the essentials colorfully and choose your weapons
    i.e. text, images and animations wisely.
