Tips For Effective Presentations

1. Titles should be 35 – 45 points – make sure each slide has one.
2. Short, concise titles are best.
3. Use only 24 point fonts or larger for body copy.
4. Contrast title and body text by color and font size.
5. Do not use bold, italic and all capital letters too much.
6. Remember that italics are hard to read
7. Keep wording on charts to a minimum – labeling only
8. Make sure charts stand on their own and can be understood
