Elements of a Good Presentation
by Melanie Cofield
Making a good presentation can be easy if you include the following elements:
1. Simple slides, with no more than one concept per page, and no more than 25-30 words per page.

2. Text and images kept within a reasonable distance from the edges of the slide. This prevents the slide from looking over-crowded.

3. Slides that are easy to read. Avoid flashy color schemes, fonts, and animation. These features should complement a presentation, and not be the presentation itself.

4. A speaker who uses the slides as prompts and not as a script to be read aloud. Sometimes audiences find it distracting to try to read and listen at the same time. |
