• Designing your presentation is the fun part of creating a
report for it gives you a chance to be creative. Placing
animations, transitions, and art could be on your mind
right now. But whether or not these features would help
is generally up to you. Sometimes, these things could
actually distract your audience rather than help you.
Here are some quick tips in creating an effective
presentation.

1. Minimize
Keep slide counts to a minimum to maintain a clear
message and to keep the audience attentive. Remember
that the presentation is just a visual aid.
Most information should still come from the reporter.

Avoid being fancy by using a font style that is easy to
read. Make sure that it is also big enough to be read by
the audience. Once you start making your presentation,
consider how big the screen is during your report.
Tip: A font size of 72 is about an inch (depends on the
screen size). A one-indi letter is readable 10 feet away; a
two-inch letter is readable 20 feet away

Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information
on the screen to have your audience focus on what the
speaker is saying than on reading the slide. Limit the
content to six lines and seven words per line. This is
known as the 6x7 rule.

Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many
to distrad the audience. In addition, instead of using a
table of data, use charts and graphs.

Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font
styles and backgrounds

Use light font on dark background or vice versa. This is
done so that it is easier to read. In most instances, it
is easier to read on screen if the background is dark.
This is due to the brightness of the screen.
