PowerPoint presentation (PPT)

The Art of Making PowerPoint Presentations
- Determine your goal/ Define your objective
- Convert your goal into one “big idea”
- Consolidate your idea into just three concepts
should be an achievable challenge/challenging yet attainable target
- - what opinion or feeling of the audience you want to change or influence
Determine your goal/ Define your objective
make them embrace the idea so that they can act by moving toward your desired goals.
Convert your goal into one “big idea”
go straight to the 1st, 2nd and 3rd point to the point where you want them to go and embrace it.
– Streamline your central idea into three key concepts
Consolidate your idea into just three concepts
5 Design Principles that Can Help Make the Structure of Your Slides Clear
- Establish an outline
- One Message per Slide
- Emphasize size
- Embrace contrast
- Limit Objects per Slide
outline first to control the number of slides and to provide balance – allot 2 – 3 minutes per slide. Make your talk a series of answers to these questions. Zoom in your introduction; zoom out your closure
Establish an outline
Have only one message per slide to allow the audience to understand it
One Message per Slide
pay attention to size – the most important should be the biggest
Emphasize size
apply the principle of contrast – highlights the item that is being discussed
Embrace contrast
Limit the number of objects/items per slide – the magical number is six. You can have less than six but not more. The number of slides for PPT is never the problem; it is the number of objects/ items per slide that is the problem
Limit Objects per Slide
