PowerPoint Tips

I agreed with many of the suggestions said in the articles. It's hard for me to know that it is okay if you have a lot of "white space" in your slide. It makes sense though because you want to keep the PowerPoint simple and clear to deliver your message. I loved the example of the large "72%" with just a picture of a woman to the side. It was really effective and clever, yet simple.
My advice for making a PowerPoint is:

1) Keep the slides simple, using animation only to emphasize a major point.

2) Don't put a lot of words on the slide. You want your audience to be focused on you and what
you are saying, not busy reading the PowerPoint.

3)Use appropriate language, text, and color. You want your PowerPoint to reflect your professionalism, maturity, and message .

4)Keep the presentation interesting. Don't just rely on the template slides. Don't just use text to reiterate your ideas. Be creative.

5) Make sure there is a purpose for everything on your slides. Put useful information and not common sense stuff. Don't just add animation or sounds or a picture just because you liked it.
