Question

PowerPoint is a visual aid for many speakers. Discuss some points to remember when adding text to a PowerPoint presentation. How do they help make the experience better for the audience and the presenter? What things can you do when creating a PowerPoint presentation to assure that your work adds to the speaker’s presentation without detracting attention from the speaker?

Answer 1

1. Less picture less distraction, but where to put pictures ? At the start of your presentation just to initially get the attention of the audience.
2. Use bullets for texts, never use paragraphs. Use short text or even words only which captures the subject of the presentation.
3. In conjunction with point 1. Use less animations as well. Especially for formal presentations

Additionally : Make sure to know your audience, for professionals, make the presentations short and precise. For much informal audiences you can be playful but always keep in mind not to overshadow the attention from the speaker.
