What is a presentation?

In the past we used transparencies to share ideas with our friends, students or clients.  Today we use software such as Power Point or Keynote to do the same including pictures, graphs, videos and/or music.

1.  First,  choose a background - when you start with a background it is easier to match colors, fonts and other medio resources.

2. Your first slide should include your title and personal information.  Use Clear fonts easy to read. Avoid using cursive or fancy letters they are hard to read.

3. Insert a new slide (that means page).  This should include a brief overview, objective or purpose of your presentation. You can add a clip art or photo (not fancy)  let's try to catch the attention and not to distract the audience.

4. Present your information as a outline, use bullets and support your info with graphs, tables or photos and videos.  Careful: try to divide 50% of one and the other.  Text short and specific. This is part of an oral presentation not a book.  A presentation will enrich your words with visual and audio. Plan you time!

5. Use a pattern of colors; not a rainbow.  You want to sell a product and inform.  Use as many slides as you need; but make sure to include an introduction, a body and a conclusion.  Plan your time.  Ex. If you have an hour... 10 min's for presentation, 20 to develop your theme and 10 min's to conclude. Still you have 20 min's for ?'s and evaluation.  Practice... 

6. In your last slide:  Share your information, such as website, email or phone number.  Your audience might want to contact you. 

Hint: Save it more than one media tool.  Also, send a copy to your email.  You never know...

Effective presentations do not include more than 5 lines of text per slide.
