7 PowerPoint Formats for Successful Presentation

You could use a little help when it comes to having the right thesis defense
ppt template for your thesis presentation ppt. A look at these different
templates can really come in handy.

Backgrounds and designs

Backgrounds and designs almost go hand in hand. It is almost a waste of

energy if you are careful about one and neglect the other. At this level of
education certain things are expected of you regarding your slide layouts.
From the above pictures, you can observe that the background colors are
quite simple, and the designs are comfortable enough to go with the
backgrounds. The trick here is to make sure you are creative enough to put
some nice designs that will match your background color. You should
however, be careful not to overdo it as it may end up ruining your whole
presentation.

Text
Text appearance is another important aspect of presentation that most people
seem to undersestimate. Like it was earlier stated, no part of a presentation
should be overlooked. Text colors and text alignments are some of the things
to be considered when making sure you are doing the right thing. You must
ensure that your text color is not clashing with your background color.
Secondly, you must know when to use the different alignment types. It is
good for you to be consistent with your alignment on all your slides.

Fonts

Not all fonts are appropriate for use in a thesis defense ppt template. There is
a standard when it comes to the font types and font size that are to be used
when preparing your slides. One format for heading would be, making use of
Verdana with a font-size of 28 and not to forget, a bold font-style. You can go
ahead to make use of font types like Arial with a font-size of 16 for more
information about the heading. The most important thing here is make sure
you are using a font type that is a bit common and legible enough.

Ideas per slides

Trying to have too many ideas or major points on one slide is a recipe for
confusion. It’s like you are guaranteeing your audience nothing but a
confused state. Your presentation will be smoother if your audience wouldn’t
need to rack their brains on how your points are related.

Simplest statements
Yes it a thesis presentation, yet it won’t do you any good to fill your screens
with complex statements. It is completely irrelevant because it will only end
up in truncating the flow of your presentation, with too many questions
coming in between. Hence, you might want to keep it nice and simple.
Creativity

A little creativity is not totally out of place. Trying out a heading with a picture
can be daring. But that is exactly what your audience is looking for. They
prefer someone who is a little unorthodox yet still in line with presentation
standards. Risking a little creativity here is allowed.

Slide interval

After preparing your slides the next thing is presentation. Don’t be in a hurry
as there is one more thing you need to consider before proceeding with this
exercise. You must ensure that your slides stay long enough on the screen.
This is because your audience might want to ask one or two questions about
something on your slide.
