 DOS AND DONTS
The most vital parts you should consider prior to every
presentation:

1. Get to know your audience.

Knowing your audience will help you develop
directions in which you take your content.

2. Realise Content is King.

It would be more acceptable to watch a
presentation with a simple white background
and black Arial with a clear, concise message,
than the slickest PowerPoint with all the bells
but with no clear message.
14
 TEXT AND FONT

Dos
Font size should range between 18 to 48
(according to importance)
Use fonts that are easy to read, such as
Arial, Helvetica, Times New Roman etc.
Use not more than three fonts at a time.
Use uppercase letters for the first letter
Leave space between the lines of text

15
 TEXT AND FONT
Donts
Don't include too many details and data (no
more than 7 words to a line and 7 lines to a
slide)
Don't crowd the information [audience tend
to end up trying to read and not paying
attention]
DONT USE ALL UPPERCASE LETTERS
(THEY ARE DIFFICULT TO READ AND
WILL APPEAR TO YOUR AUDIENCE THAT
YOU ARE YELLING)
Don't use abbreviations or short forms. 16
 SOUND EFFECTS
Dos
Use sounds to help convey, complement,
or enhance the message

Donts
Don't use sounds when they aren't
appropriate
Sounds can be distracting and can make
your presentation less effective

17
 COLOUR
Dos
Limit the use of colour to 2 to 4 colours

Use colours that will stand out and will be easy

on the eyes (dark backgrounds and light text is
best)
Remember, the colours projected from a data
projector may look different than the colours on
your computer screen

18
 COLOUR
Donts
Don't use multiple colour schemes [stick to
one/two colour per presentation not per
slides]
Don't use dark colours on a dark background
(red, blue, and black should not be used
together as text and background)
Dont use colour that convey wrong
messages.
[Cool and Refreshing]

19
 IMAGES AND SHAPES

Dos
o Use images and shapes only to make a
point not to make your presentation more
interesting use content to do that.
o Only include 1 to 2 images per slide

20
 IMAGES AND SHAPES

Donts
Don't use too many graphics (can be VERY
distracting, look less professional, and look
like a show off)
Don't use low-quality images and images that
are too small.

21
 TRANSITIONS
Dos
o Use transitions to help your presentation
make more of an impact by varying the
way one slide replaces another
o Keep transitions to a minimum [two
maximum]
o Use the same transition or a variation of
the transition

22
 TRANSITIONS
Donts
o Avoid flashy transitions (too much
movement will distract your audience)
o Avoid using random slide transitions

MULTIMEDIA

store and experience multimedia content.

26
 SAVING YOUR WORKS
Dos
Save your work frequently (Ctrl+S)
Backup your work frequently (every day, if
possible)
Store each presentation and its associated
files in its proper folder
Donts
Rely on the program's Auto save feature.

27
 PRACTICE YOUR
PRESENTATION
Dos
o Use a data projector to view your
presentation:
oIs it easy to read the text?
oIs the amount of information on each
slide kept to a minimum?
oAre there any distracting elements?
o Ask others for feedback
28
 PRACTICE YOUR
PRESENTATION
Donts
Don't read your material directly from
the screen (use the slides as prompts,
outlines, or conversation points, not cue
cards)
Don't leave all the lights on in the room
(be sure people can actually see the
screen)

29
 HANDOUTS
Distribute handouts at the end not during
or prior to presentation.
No speaker wants to be chatting to a
crowd that busy reading a summation
of her/his remarks.

30
Most 'First Class' students get technical seats, some
become Doctors and some Engineers

The 'Second Class' pass, and then get MBA, become

Administrators and control the 'First Class'

The 'Third Class' pass, enter politics and

become Ministers and control both.

The 'Failures' join the underworld and control all

the above.
