Why Use Animation

• Draws attention to certain points.
• Helps hold your audiences attention.
• Spices up your presentation.

Slide Show Design Guidelines

• When you give a slide show, the content should be
  center stage. You want the tools you use - such
  as animations and transitions - to emphasize your
  points, not draw the audience's attention to
  special effects.

Slide show Design Guidelines (Continued)

• The same principle works with sound. An
  occasional burst of music or sound during a
  transition or animation will focus the audience
  on the slide show. However, frequent use of sound
  effects can draw attention away from your main
  points.

Slide show Design Guidelines (Continued)

• While you rehearse, you can also check your
  slides' visual impact. Too many words or pictures
  can distract the audience. If you find yourself
  using too much text, try turning one slide into
  two or three, and then increase the font size.

Making A Good Presentation
11
Limit The Amount of Text

• Don't put too much text on a slide. Each slide
  should contain less than 10 lines of text.
• Limit the number of bulleted items per page. Use
  no more than 6 bullets per slide.

12
Making Good Charts

• Make sure that you include enough labels so that
  people will know what your chart refers to.
• Often a simple bar chart is much easier to read
  than a 3D chart. Many times it is difficult to
  compare the numbers in the different bars.

13
Limit Your Animation

• Limit the amount of animation that you use.
• Don't use animation on most of your pages.
• If you animate your titles, have the rest of the
  slide appear after the title is displayed. You
  audience will be confused if the body appears
  before the title.

14
Other Considerations

• Overhead Projectors have low contrast. Make sure
  you use high contrast colors or they will bleed
  together on the overhead.

15
Final Checklist

• Does each slide have a title?
• Does all the information fit on the slide?
• Did you spell check the final copy?
• Are any of the graphics overlapping text?
• Are the charts sufficiently labeled? Are the X
  and Y axes labeled?
