5 TIPS TO CREATE A GREAT PRESENTATION

Designing presentations and marketing materials is one of my favourite tasks to do for clients! Whether using PowerPoint, Keynote, Canva or other software to create your winning presentation, here are a few tips to create a professional looking presentation once you have your text content ready to go:

1. Don’t over-animate! It's easy to get excited by whizzy animations, but too many can distract attention from your content rather than enhance it!

2. Make your slide headings stand out! Bold Titles, Large fonts, Drawing a boxes around titles are all good ways to achieve this.

3. Keep a consistent background! Play around with other design elements, but limit backgrounds to 1 or 2 colours/textures. Use the ‘apply to all’ feature to apply the same background to all slides.

4. Be consistent and selective with your fonts and colours- use the same colours and fonts across all slides (your brand colours and fonts if you already have these). Limit fonts to no more than 3 - 1 header, 1 body text, and 1 script font if needed. Limit colours used on the presentation to no more than 5.

5. Keep text content short and to the point -Divide longer pieces of text up into bullet points to break up the text and hold the attention of your viewers.
