1. Keep it simple. Find your focus, stick to it, and then show it off. It’s as simple as that.
2. Break from the Mold. Use your creative skills to develop a template that will resonate with the audience. Be original.
3. Don’t go crazy with copy. Although I love to write, the slideshow should not highlight the presenter’s script. Avoid heavy copy or long-winded bullet points. Audience members should not be reading a “book”, but listening to a presentation.
4. Tasteful Animations. Tasteful is the keyword here. Animations can connect and engage audience members to the topic of discussion. However, fancy transitions and animations can also distract from the point of the presentation. Be aware and use accordingly.
5. Don’t skimp on Quality. Make every presentation your best work. Use high quality images. Check your work again and again and again.
6. Fonts and Colors. Step back from designing for a moment and think about the bigger picture. What is the tone of the presentation? What emotions should it invoke? Now choose the right font family and color palette to match those sentiments.
7. Never Stop Growing. You’re creative. But, when you feel your creative juices are running low, STOP your work and go get inspired. Learn from the great designers of history, experience the art of nature, relax with a good movie – do whatever it is that rejuvenates your creativity, and then go back to work. Your eyes will feel refreshed and your presentation will benefit from the revival.
