Effective PowerPoint

Presentations

Keep text clear

AVOID USING ALL CAPITALS AS
IT MAKES IT HARDER TO READ
ON THE SCREEN
San serif fonts are easier to
read on a screen than serif fonts as
they are plainer and less complex

Use the right font

This is Arial 12

This is Arial 18

Too small

This is Arial 24

This is Arial 32

This is Arial 36

This is Arial 44

How to estimate the

size
Try it on the screen where you
will give your presentation or..
Sit 2m from your screen

Special effects
Keep the special effects to a
minimum. Too much of a good
thing can be distracting.
Appear and disappear are good
basics

Slide design
Group ideas together on one
slide
Too many points for one slide?
Break the idea down
Aim for around
6 lines per slide and
7 words per line

Planning:
According to the local planning
authority any planning decision would
be based on the local development
framework and in conjunction with
local residents after a period of full
consultation. A developer would be
required to comply with the current
designation or to make an application
for a change of use. Any change of use
application is unlikely to be viewed
favourably.
