•Pie Chart:Used to show percentages. Limit the slices to 4-6 and
contrast the most important slice either with color or by exploding
the slice.
•Vertical Bar Charts: Used to show changes in quantity over time.
Best if you limit the bars to 4-8.
•Horizontal Bar Charts.Used to compare quantities. For example,
comparing sales figures among the four regions of the company.
•Line Charts: Used to demonstrate trends. For example, here is a
simple line chart showing that our sales have gone up every year.
The trend is good. The arrow comes in later to underscore the
point: Our future looks good

PPT Tips
5. Use colour well: If you will be presenting in a dark room (such as a large hall), then a dark
background (dark blue, grey, etc.) with white or light text will work fine. But if you plan to keep
most of the lights on (which is highly advisable) then a white background with black or dark text
works much better.
6. Choose your fonts well: Fonts communicate subtle messages in and of themselves, which is
why you should choose fonts deliberately. Use the same font set throughout your entire slide
presentation, and use no more than two complementary fonts (e.g., Arial and Arial Bold). Make
sure you know the difference between a Serif font (e.g., Times New Roman) and a Sans-Serif font
(Helvetica or Arial).
7. Use video or audio: Use video and audio when appropriate.
8. Spend time in the slide sorter: Don’t forget to save some time to spend on Slide Sorter.
