9 Rules of Creating a Good Presentation

How to design good slides

When you make a presentation before the audience is easier to talk when listeners look at the screen and not at you. So you have to create excellent slides to attract attention.

1. Use short titles

Write short titles. When viewer sees a long title he thinks that something is wrong.

2. Same structure on one slide

Your text must have same structure on one slide. It may be complete phrases, or only theses etc.

3. Less text

It’s better if you will use only titles and pictures. Try not to put a big text which repeat what you say. In this case listener will read the text and lose attention.

4. Text should be readable

Choose a size of font wisely. It must be readable from the last place in meeting room.

5. Think before putting useless picture

All pictures and slides must have a sense. If it is useless delete it.

6. Check all the text

In your presentation mustn’t be any mistakes or misprints. Only one mistake can ruin your whole presentation.

7. Prefer an picture to text

If you can show something instead of writing it, show it with an image.

8. Choose background

In the most of cases a matte pastel background is better than a white one.

9. Choose colors

Use strong colors to underline something important, and use pastel colors for unimportant.
