Final Tips

• Try out your presentation in advance
• check to see if the timings of the transitions and animations will work for the audience
• pay particular attention to how much time it takes for animations to occur
• remember that most audiences do not have a lot of time to spend waiting for things to happen
• The eye can see and understand concepts very quickly.
• The quicker your presentation can get in,
• make a positive impression,
• and get out, the better off you will be.
• don't talk over a blank screen...start out every slide with somthing for the viewer to focus on

Key principles to consider

• focus on the audience's needs and build your visuals to conform to their expectations and your message
• simple and effective is preferable to complex and confusing
• bullets are okay on this page as they serve as a "to do" list, but avoid bullets in presentations.
