Being in my second semester of my foundation program, I have to deal with many assignments in which a number of them deal with presentations. I’ve witnessed an equal amount of good and bad presentations. The outstanding presenters usually have good presentation aids to support them.
These good presentation aids have a few things in common:-
1) Usage of easily seen colours
a. These aids are usually written in bold, solid colours with contrasting backgrounds as these colours go easy on the eyes.
2) Usage of direct phrases
a. The words used in the presentation aids are simple, straight-to-the-point and simple. This allows the speaker to elaborate on his free will to avoid sounding rehearsed.
3) Usage of aid to highlight a few essential points
a. The points which are highlighted in the presentation aids are the important points.
4) Usage of easily read typeface
a. Presenters use fonts which are simple and not too fancy. Easily read font types reflect professionalism.
5) Title
a. Good presentation aids have titles or headings which show the audience what to anticipate or expect from the speaker.
