facts and avoid complicated information.

directions or orders. Your presentation will probably be a bit longer, because it has to
cover your topic thoroughly.

your listeners to accept your proposal.

PRESENTATION DESIGN
TIPS FOR DESIGNING IMPACTFUL PRESENTATION :

 CHOOSE EASY TO READ FONTS.

 PROVIDE SOLID CONTENT.
 ONE MAIN IDEA PER SLIDE.
 INCLUDE HIGH QUALITY IMAGES.
 CHOOSE A SELECTIVE COLOR SCHEME.
 BE CONSISTENT.
 CREATE A COMPELLING COVER.
HOW TO DESIGN A PRESENTATION
 STEP 1: OUTLINE YOUR PRESENTATION :
BEFORE YOU START DESIGNING, YOU NEED TO KNOW WHAT YOU’RE
GOING TO SAY. STARTING WITH AN OUTLINE HELPS YOU GET A GOOD
IDEA OF THE TEXT YOU’LL BE USING ON YOUR SLIDES, AS WELL AS THE
VISUALS THAT SUPPORT YOUR IDEAS.
 STEP 2: THINK ABOUT TONE :
THE TONE OF YOUR PRESENTATION HAS A STRONG EFFECT ON YOUR
DESIGN DECISIONS. IF YOU’RE GOING FOR A BUSINESS-LIKE TONE, FOR
EXAMPLE, YOU MIGHT NOT CHOOSE A FLOWERY THEME, AND YOU
MIGHT USE MORE JARGON AND COMPLICATED TERMS.
 STEP 3: CHOOSE A PALETTE :
WITH YOUR OUTLINE AND TONE FIGURED OUT, YOU CAN MOVE ON TO
DESIGN. FIRST, YOU’LL WANT TO DECIDE ON A COLOR PALETTE. CHOOSE
ONE OR TWO MAIN COLORS, AND TWO OR THREE SECONDARY COLORS,
TO USE IN YOUR SLIDES. IF YOU’RE AIMING FOR A MORE PROFESSIONAL
TONE, BLUES AND GRAYS MIGHT BE MORE APPROPRIATE.
 Step 4: Emphasize one point per slide :
Too often, we include tons of information on each slide—and sometimes end up
reading from the slide instead of speaking extemporaneously. This is a recipe for a
boring and forgettable presentation.
 Step 5: Make it visual :
Appealing to the emotions of your audience will leave a strong impression and help
them to remember what you said. Words are great for inspiring emotion—but
pictures are much better.

TABLE
The basic structure of a table is a set of columns and rows that contain the
data and usually contain either a row or column or both of heading that
organize the data. When deciding on the size of the table ,it is a good idea
to keep the six by six guideline in mind. Used in context of table this
guideline suggests that a table should try to have no more than six
columns and no more than six row.
GRAPH

There are 5 basic types of graph

1. Area : This graph shows the relationship of difference part to a whole over
time
2. Column : this graph shows the difference in individual value vertically. It
can be use to show the difference between value in difference time period
3. Bar : this graph shows the difference in individual value horizontally.
4. Line : value at difference point in time. It is usually best to have equal
time interval along the horizontal axis of the graph
5. Pie : this graph shows the proportion of each segment of a whole. This
graph only handles one data series
Figures

 Figures of speech are aimed to make stories more inspiring,

motivational, and understandable. Using them in presentations can
help influence an audience and make them take a speaker’s points.
It’s more efficient to apply one well-chosen verbal device than use
several weaker ones.
