Tips for Power Point Presentations

1. Say a lot in few words - as in, each bullet point should be easy for the audience to understand and not take too long to read or take in
2. Use varying colors, but not colors that completely contrast each other or detract from the overall ability to pay attention to what's really important: the presentation topics
3. Add pictures to slides, but make sure that a picture doesn't stand out too much or too little, if it is the focus of a particular slide
4. Be consistant with the fonts used; don't overuse or underuse a font, as in be creative but not to the extent that it becomes a distraction for the audience
5. Make sure that the slides flow well, that the topics are organized and well-planned
