Creating Effective Presentation Slides

Creating presentation slides is an important part of many people’s jobs. But what makes presentation slides effective? How much information should be included on each slide? How should it be organized in the best way possible?

First listen to the presenter. Then look at the related slide and the statement below each slide. Decide whether they are effective or ineffective.

1.

  Statement 1: Slides can contain a little or a lot of information.

 
 

2.

    Statement 2: Important information is listed.

 
 

3.

 Statement 3: Pictures can help support the message if used in the right amount.

  Statement 4: The font makes the slide look unique.

Below are some tips for creating effective presentation slides:

  • Don’t put too much information on each slide.
  • Be aware that presentation slides are intended to help during a presentation, not serve as documentation.
  • Consistency is key – if you start the first point with a verb, start the others with a verb as well.
  • Reduce the amount of text on the slide by using the notes function.
  • Too much animation is distracting, not amusing.
  • Consider using a color scheme, company logo, etc. to help the presentation look professional.
  • Choose an easily read font.
  • Select an appropriate size font.
  • Use appropriate charts.
  • Limit the number of bullet points.
