Powerpoint+Rules

Powerpoint Rules 1. Don't use templates 2. Font - One font, One Color, Two Sizes (Main points, Subpoints) 3. Keywords - Minimal Text - Information should come out of your mouth - Narrow it down 4. Graphics - Choose photos over Clipart - Bigger is usually better. 5. Don't overlap text with other text or a graphic 6. Text contrast - dark and light 7. Rule of thirds - don't center things 8. Keep it simple - eliminate anything unnecessary 9. Try not to stretch your pictures too much - only grab the corners 10. No fun, "cheesy" transitions - If you do pop in text, do it right away, not flipping in  11. Do not put a slide that says "The End" and/or "Thanks for Watching" - say it  12. End with a bibliography if necessary
