Tips for PowerPoint Presentations

Here are the top PowerPoint Mistakes to avoid, presented by Kesselman-Jones, Inc. (A communications firm specializing in conference & event management).

This is my summary of the mistakes from the article. To view the original article, click here.
1. What looks great on your laptop monitor, may not look great on a 12 foot screen from 70 feet away. Test your slides in the room.
2. Don't use the whizzing whistles and flying text in slides just because you can. Be consistent and conservative when designing slides.
3. Clarify and communicate the point of your slides to your audience as a presenter. Don't read your slides to the audience.
4. Send a backup of your slides ahead of time so that you will not be flustered and instigate panic when your laptop/projector/remote presenter/(insert other tech gremlin here) doesn't co-operate.
