Presentation Skills Worksheet: Slides
Speaker's tip (One idea, few words): Good: few words, big text, one idea per slide, short bullet points, a title on each slide, one style throughout. Poor: full paragraphs, tiny 10-point text, ten fonts, low contrast (yellow on white), flashy effects, too many bullets. The audience should listen to you; the slide only helps them see the idea.
