Tips for Designing Effective Presentation Visuals
1
Design each visual to make one major point or theme.
?
Dominant idea should jump out
?
Should be followed by bulleted summary
2
Keep your visual simple, neat and uncluttered.
?
Make sure it isn’t complex or busy.
Don’t squeeze all the text or graphics into a small area. Make everything as large as possible for quick, easy viewing.
3
?
?
Limit the number of words and use large, bold letters.
? ?
? ? ?
Use fewer than 45 words on each visual. A good guideline for text-based visuals is six to eight words per line No more than five to seven lines per visual. Use only one font. Edit out words you don’t need until each statement is as concise.
4
Diligently copyedit and proofread.
?
? ? ? ?
Be consistent when it comes to noun phrases or verb phrases, and tense for text lines and title. Check spelling and use consistent punctuation. Verify accuracy of people an organizations and data. Double-check your data. Typos, misspellings and Factual errors destroy your credibility as an expert in the minds of the audience.
5
Write titles that read like headlines
Each visual title should shout out a specific idea or point, grab attention and titillate interest.
6
Highlight key words and graphics.
?
Use a different color, size or text effect (bold, italics) to draw attention. But use them only for special emphasis. Mixing too many type faces, such as italic and bold and various fonts, creates excessive contrast and slows reading. Other techniques for drawing attention to key ideas include using arrows, asterisks or enclosing words or graphics in geometric shapes.
?
?
7
Use colors sparingly.
?
?
?
Don’t overdo it. Never use more than three colors on one visual and use them consistently. In general, light-colored text against a dark background is easier to read from a distance.
8
Don’t “overdesign.”
?
Today’s presentation software programs provide you with an endless array of design options.
?
Avoid radically changing backgrounds, colors, fonts and borders . When you’re designing your visuals, remember that elegant, simple design is always more effective.
