Chapter 1 Tweaking Presentations Reflection

by Diana Arcaute

Wow! These first chapters really made me reconsider my approach to creating power-point presentation. It is time to let the templates go and let creativity awaken.

Who knew the color of your presentation affects the attention of your audience. Yellow and blue seem to be the color of choice. The color green gives a calming sensation to your presentation, while red and green combined is disastrous.

Presenters need to prepare the room where the presentation is going to take place. Making sure your presentation looks good when projected can save you a lot of heart-ache.

The amount of words on a slide, typeface, and images play a key role in the success of your presentation. Use minimal words and powerful images to engage your audience. Using all capital letters is discouraged because it makes reading the slides harder. Using lowercase letters is eye appealing and easier to read. Choose fonts like Georgia, Arial, and Verdana.

PowerPoint slides should not be full pages of text and should be easy to read but not by you. The days of reading PowerPoint presentations verbatim are over!
