PowerPoint Presentations Seminar: How To Make a Bad PowerPoint

There are several common mistakes that actually turn off audiences' attention when presenters use power point slides in their presentation:

1. Too much text-content in one single slide

You could not put too much texts in one single page. Audiences will not read every single word from it. If presenters opt to follow this style of delivering information to the audiences, why don't they just distribute handouts to audiences to read rather than giving any dull presentations. Delivering information should be made simple and clear - not to make it hard to transcend to the audiences.

2. Unrelated themes and backgrounds

Let's say you're in a forum entitled "Chocolate". It's very hard for you to relate with "chocolate" when the themes and backgrounds are not related to the main topic. First, there's no chocolate in background thus the audiences could not even feel the impact of delicious and alluring taste of chocolate.

3. Unmatched text and background colors

Obviously, it is very ignorant when text-contents are not totally visible to audiences. If they cannot see things clearly, how could they pay extra attention to your speech delivery? The picture used as slide background is excellent but it is such a waste when you are unable to get the content clearly from the slide.

4. Over-shadowed Text-contents

Please notice that not necessarily all fonts require shadows. Over-shadowed text contents will only cause difficulties for audiences to read it. Audiences are more reluctant to read the distorted text-contents even though the slide has a well-organized list.

5. Play around with fonts

For example, if we want to make speech about children education, avoid using fonts that are too formal and dull. Fonts have played a vital role in slide enhancement. In other words, you need to choose suitable fonts according to the slide layouts or the topic of the presentation.

6. Dull graphical presentation

Using the wrong graphical presentation such as graphs, tables and charts will only make things even complicated. These graphical presentation need to be standalone in every PowerPoint slides. It means you could not put too much words along with the graph or any other related graphics.
