Public Speaking: 3 Rules for PowerPoint presentations
By admin | February 15, 2010
1. Projectiles and phrases: When I speak of public education, I always remind my audience to the PowerPoint slides easy to read. As if in intergovernmental where anyone can read data Drive 55 miles per hour. Bullets work best, because it is easier to read than sentences. In addition, there are less inclined to read the pages in this way. The main rule of PowerPoint slides is to keep them in large, simple. Slide should look like a billboard. Not more than 6bullets per slide and 6-8 words per line. Stick to three colors for PowerPoint slides, otherwise the public will begin to focus more on color and less on content.
2. Font selection: Many people come to me privately in my lectures and seminars I hope that many of their colleagues to use print "that is too small for anyone to read." They are the secret behind my desire for everyone to participate in the press have said, is big enough to read the PowerPoint slides. BesidesI was often told by the person who takes me to the fact that many of their employees too much information on their pages. With public speaking and visual aids, more is less.
Choose a simple character, but make sure they are old enough to read for people in the back row. Print size must be at least a 28 font for titles and at least 22 points for a second text. Standard written with clean lines is much easier to read. For example, Times New Roman, Gothic and Verdana good choices. Within thesefont families have the opportunity to improve a page with the italics and bold, go easy on the label. And never put the letters in uppercase. Use instead of uppercase and lowercase letters. It is much easier to read and not think, do not shout.
3.Color and contrast: Given the size of the room where you can talk. All will be in the back row to read the text on the PowerPoint slides? To help them readwhat is on screen, select soft "easy-on-the-eyes" light colors such as blue or turquoise. In the book, choose a contrasting color as the background other than white, black or blue. For example, use light characters on a dark background or dark letters on a background of light. Never use the phrases in black on a white background. It's boring and nobody would read.
Public speaking and the cardinal rule: you never want to readwhat is on screen. After all, you are the presenter. Your audience to accept you're an expert. Also, when reading the slides, the more likely your back is available to the public. They focus on what you do. They would just lose concentration and start thinking about other things. Therefore, the use of bullets and phrases in sentences like to place on the slides and printed inside think about what the slide as "fast food for the eye."
In my training sessions, I frequentllymore highly skilled and talented people trying to squeeze too much information in a single line. This is especially true when people with technical material.Technical have a tendency to too many words, shapes, colors and graphics on a single slide out. Know your material, but keep things simple. Practice. Repeat with PowerPoint slides. Getting honest feedback from friends, relatives and colleagues. Can be done. Good luck!
