CREATING AN

PRESENTATION

THE

ICT
112

MINIMIZE

MISTAKE
It is quite common for
inexperienced presenters to
use too many slides or
frames.

THE

SOLUTION
Use as few slides as possible.
Include only the most
important details in the slides
and deliver the supporting
details by speaking.

MINIMIZE

THE

MISTAKE
Presentations are almost
always designed in
computers with small
screens then presented in a
bigger monitor or projector.

CLARITY

SOLUTION
Consider how your audience will
view your presentation. If you will
be speaking to a large audience,
use bigger fonts so your report
can still be read from the back of
the room.

SIMPLICITY

MISTAKE
Another common mistake
that beginners make is to
write the whole report in the
slideshow and just read it to
the audience.

THE

ICT

SIMPLICITY

SOLUTION
The slideshow should only contain
a summary of the report and not
the report itself. Use bullets,
numbered lists and short lines
instead of paragraphs and long
sentences.

VISUALS

MISTAKE
Its easy to get over-excited with
graphics, colors and fonts. Using
too much animation, bright
colors and fancy lettering can
distract the audience from the
topic.

THE

VISUALS

SOLUTION
Use simple design elements.
It is okay to animate your
slides and customize your
text as long as they are easy
to read and not distracting.

CONSISTENCY

MISTAKE
The slides may end up looking
different from each other, with
different fonts, different colors
and an assortment of nonuniform graphics.

CONSISTENCY

SOLUTION
Plan your design right from the
beginning and stick to it
throughout your presentation.
Most presentation programs allow
you to set the default look of
every slide.

CONTRAST

MISTAKE
Some colors simply do not
match. A mismatched
background and font color can
render the text unreadable.

CONTRAST

SOLUTION
Make sure that your text has a
good contrast with your
background. Use a dark
background with light text and
vice versa.
