PowerPoint Tips: For Professional and Influencing Presentaion

PowerPoint is very easy to use application, but this does not mean that you can create professional presentations easily. Here I have compiled few tips that will help you create presentations with professional look, but before these tips check these slides.

   

1. While creating presentation always keep your target audience in mind and make your presentation appropriate for the audience! For example adding funny sounds or transitions on presentations made for group of executives is really a bad idea. On the other hand a presentation for less critical crowd, like a classroom use of such add-ons are appropriate. Neglecting or failing to understand level of viewers cost you big time, this can even put your reputation into jeopardy.

2. Display one idea per slide otherwise people get distracted. Audience will read next points while you are still discussing previous point or they will lag you and will read previous points while you’re discussing new points.

3. Create easy to read presentation. Presentations are some time useless if audience cannot read what it says. Be sure to use moderate size text, not make the text too big or small. As far I have observed 24pt is best  fonts for for text. It is hard to put all text on one slide if it is big, and  if you use small text people will not be able to read it. Using clear font is also very important. Prefer to use Arial or other modern, smooth, and of course, easy to read fonts. If possible pass out an outline of your presentation to audience.

4. Don't use thick text. Eliminating maximum text from your slides. That’s because audience will either read slides or they’ll listen you, remember they can’t do both.

5. Add decent colorful graphics, time of white simple background is gone! That means insert some appropriate picture files and add cool relevant effects, also add 3D charts and graphs if possible. Also use good appropriate themes! themes have power to make everything look great with just one click. It is a quick and easy way make presentation look better.

6. While presenting share interesting information add your own experiences to the presentation! Don’t just read slides. Describe the world outside slides and explain the experience and opinion of your own. And share additional information that is not added in slides.

7. Explain the content of slides with eye contact to the audience. This shows your confidence and conveys your message clearly. Lack of understanding from audience towards your presentation is a bad, make sure audience are clearly understanding you.

8. Nothing is more boring than text only presentation. Make sure your presentations has sufficient amount of pictures, video, sounds and other graphics. Using these things you can convey your message easily and efficiently and without boring audience. Oh, and be sure to use the cool editing effects that today’s presentation software titles have.

9. No one wants to read paragraph on your slides, show text in form of points with bullets. Audience can easily extract useful content from points.

Making presentation look good can make you look good. So remember these tips whenever you create presentation. For more knowledge read this link.
