Slides Advice by Richard J Botting CSE School CSUSB With advice from Aaron Pritchett
Do not do the slides first • (0) Research the topic, • (1) Plan it, • (2) Write it, • (3) Illustrate it, • (4) Edit without mercy.
Movement • Don’t! • Unless it is something special • Or it means something. • Or (rarely) to wake people up.
Show or Tell? • Show facts on slides. • Tell stories and feelings.
Three Good Layouts • Heading and Picture • Heading and simple graphic • Heading and some bullets • Two examples . . .
Heading + Picture • Jane Curnutt at Mauna Kea
No Paragraphs • Hand out hard copy of long texts. • Hand out after the presentation. • Otherwise ask people to read bits of it.
Mix Layouts • Not too many Head + Bullets slides With thanks to the Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Machine_gun_M2_1.jpg
No Keyword Bullets • Bullet points should be sentences.
Scale • Font sizes should be more than 16 point • Make important points bigger. • A Big hall means use a bigger bolder font Acknowledgements can be small.
Fonts • A San Serif font works best on slides. Unless, of course, you don’t care whether anybody can read the message or not.
Color • Use for moods and style not facts. • Foreground must standout from background
In Summary • Keep slides simple, Less is more. • THINK
