Rules Of PPT Presentations
Principle To Make Your
Presentations Presentable
Texts
•Bullet should be concise
•Headings and subheadings in
same spot each frame
•Limit each slide to one idea
•Use bullets for components
Text
•Spelling Should Be Correct
•There Can Be 4-6 Words In A
Bullet And 4-6 Bullet In A Slide
Don’t
Avoid the “All Word” Slide
Another thing to avoid is the use of a large
block paragraph to introduce your
information. Attendees do not like to
have what is on the screen, read to them
verbatim. So, please use short, bulleted
statements and avoid typing out your
whole presentation on to the slides. Also, it
is difficult for some to listen and read a
large amount of text at the same time.
Caps and Italics
• DO NOT USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERS
– Makes text hard to read
– Denies their use for EMPHASIS
• Italics
– Used for “quotes”
– Used to highlight thoughts or ideas
– Used for book, journal, or magazine titles
Fonts
• Font Style Should be Readable
– Recommended fonts: Arial, Tahoma,
Veranda
• Standardize the Font Throughout
Do !
Font Size
The larger, the better. Remember, your slides must
be readable, even at the back of the room.
• This is a good title size
Verdana 40 point
• A good subtitle or bullet point size
Verdana 32 point
• Content text should be no smaller than
Verdana 24 point
Font Size
Combiningsmall font sizes with bold or italics is
not recommended:
What does this say? Garamond Font, Italic, Bold 12pt.

• Don’t Sacrifice Readability for Style
Use the Same Background
on Each Slide
Do !!
Don’t use multiple backgrounds in your
presentation
Changing the style is distracting
Don’t!
Colors
• Large Hall Events Don’t
–Avoid White Backgrounds
–The white screen can be blinding
in a dark room
– Dark Slides with Light Colored
Text Work Best
Avoid These Combinations
• Examples:
–Green on Blue
–Dark Yellow on Green
–Purple on Blue Don’t !
–Orange on Green
–Red on Green
The Color Wheel
• Colors separated by another
color are contrasting colors
(complementary)
• Adjacent colors harmonize
with one another (Green
and Yellow)
• Colors directly opposite one
another are said to CLASH
• Clashing colors provide
readability
– Orange on Blue
Do !
Background Colors
Remember: Readability! Readability! Readability!
This is a good mix of This is a bad mix of
colors. Readable! colors. Low contrast.
Unreadable!
This is a bad mix of
This is a good mix of colors. Avoid bright
colors. Readable! colors on white.
Unreadable!
Illustrations
• Use only when needed
• They should relate to the message
• Ask yourself if it makes the message clearer
• Simple diagrams are great communicators
Do !
Limit Animation !
• Use the same animation throughout the
entire presentation
• Using more than one can be very
distracting
– The audience will only see the animation
and not the message you’re trying to get
across
Graphs and Charts
Make sure the audience
can read them!
Graphics and Charts
Avoid using graphics that are difficult to read. In this example, the bright
colors on a white background and the small font make the graph hard to
read. It would be very difficult to see, especially in the back of a room.
Don’t !
