Tips for creating your PowerPoint Presentation:

• Videos are to be embedded into your slide rather than inputted as external links
• PowerPoint presentations are required in 16:9 (widescreen) format. Please feel free to contact Amy here should you require assistance with ensuring your presentation is in this format

Body Text:

• Use a font that is easy to read. Arial, Verdana or Calibri tend to be the easiest to read on screens
• Font should be no smaller than 18pt
• Align text left. Centered text is harder to read
• Write in point form, not complete sentences
• Include 4-5 bullet points per slide
• Avoid wordiness and clutter: A headline, a few bullet points, maybe an image - anything more than that and you risk losing your audience

Headings:

• Heading font should be bigger than your body text

Colour:

• Put dark text on a light background. This is easiest to read. If you must use a dark background - for instance, if your company uses a standard template with a dark background - make sure your text is light (white, cream or light grey) and increase the font size

Images, Charts and Diagrams:

• A chart, diagram or image can often convey much more to your audience than text
• Don't use low resolution images as these can appear blurry on the screen

Slide Timing:

• Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
