choose fonts deliberately.
- meyerlaura on 21 Sep 14
  
  I have to choose fonts in class that show the accents and punctuation best and clearest. That is not Arial, even though I like Arial for most of my correspondence. I've found that Comic Sans actually works best for me. I know, it was 'dissed' in one of the articles, but it does work well for me!

starting to create your presentation in PowerPoint before you have your key points and logical flow first worked out (on paper or a white board in my case) is like a movie director hiring actors and starting to film before there is a script in hand.

think of your entire 30 minute presentation as an opportunity to “tell a story.” Good stories have interesting, clear beginnings, provocative, engaging content in the middle, and a clear, logical conclusion.

Visuals should be big, bold, clear, and easy to see. Allow graphic elements to fill the frame and bleed off the edges. Use visuals in an active way, not a decorative one. Aim to carefully trim back the details. Make your presentation—visuals and narration—participatory.
