Powerpoint Tips

I liked the tips given on these slides. The best one was about bad power points because there is nothing worse than having to sit through a long speech with a boring power point. Here are five tips I would give to have a successful powerpoint:
  1. Use pictures, an odd number of images is always better than an even one.
  2. Try to limit yourself to using three bullets.
  3. Don't use too many words, rather use words to "reinforce" your statements.
  4. Make your own background theme, try to shy away from using generic templates.
  5. Add in some sound, video, or animations in your presentations to help keep the audience interested and visual attached to your presentation.
I feel that if a person is making a powerpoint using these tips will help them make a successful and intriguing power point. Also, nothing is more annoying in an power point than a bad scheme scheme mixed with too many words on a page. A plethora of words is always a bad thing, your power point is supposed to help guide your presentation, all the words you are going to say do not need to be included.
