3. CREATING AN EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION
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 quick tips in creating an effective presentation

4. 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.

5. 2.CLARITY
• Avoid being fancy by using a font style that is easy to read. Make sure that 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

6. 3.SIMPLICITY
• Use bullet 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.

7. 4.VISUALS
• Use graphics to help in your presentation but not too many to distract the audience. In addition, instead
of using table of data, use charts and graphs.

8. 5.CONSISTENCY
• Make your design uniform. Avoid having different fonts styles and backgrounds.

9. 6.CONTRAST
• 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.

10. USING HYPERLINKS IN MICROSOFT POWERPOINT

group’s case, it may be wise to insert action buttons for most slides or place hyperlinks to your excel file
