Tips for Creating Unforgettable Presentation
Let us now go through some tips and techniques for designing a memorable and impressive presentation for your business services:
Be Consistent with Font Size and Font Type
The first thing to be kept in mind while preparing presentations is to select appropriate font size and font style that showcases professionalism and promotes readability. You need to chose a ‘big enough’ font size to ensure visibility of content in the presentation since the audience will be at a very far distance from the screen during the presentation.
Further, font style is another big factor as far as readability is concerned. Avoid using any fonts with serifs or any fonts resembling papyrus. Avoid using more than two fonts to showcase a sense of unity in presentation – use one font for titles and headings and other for content. You must use a font style and font size that is readable 15-20 feet away from the screen.
Focus on Design Elements
Presentation packages offer different features to insert visual flash into the presentation such as swipes, flashing text, fades, etc. that add cheesy effects to the presentation. Instead, you must try to keep your presentation as simple as possible.
Further, you must pay attention on certain design elements such as contrast between text and background like using a light background with dark text, proper alignment of text and objects like keeping them left or right aligned, using decorative fonts for slide headers only if they ensure readability, avoiding clutter by using few bullet points, etc. Make sure to use proper line spacing since readability is affected tremendously by line spacing.
