    Guidelines for Crafting a PowerPoint Presentation

    INSTRUCTIONS: Create a PowerPoint Presentation about any topic of your choice in


    Purposive Communication. Then, follow the guidelines below:

    1. Structure Your Presentation


    • Title Slide- Include the presentation title, your name, date, and any relevant affiliations or
    logos.
    • Agenda Slide- Briefly outline the topics or sections covered.
    • Content Slides- Divide the information logically into sections or points. Use one main
    idea per slide to maintain clarity.
    • Conclusion Slide- Summarize the key takeaways.
    • Q&A Slide- Prepare for audience interaction or feedback.

    2. Design Principles
    Slide Layout
    • Use consistent templates for a professional look.
    • Ensure adequate spacing between text and images.
    Color Scheme
    • Use a cohesive color palette.
    • Ensure contrast between text and background for readability.
    Fonts
    • Use readable fonts like Arial, Calibri, or Verdana.
    • Keep font sizes consistent: Titles (28–36 pts), Body Text (18–24 pts).
    Visual Hierarchy
    • Emphasize important points using bold, size, or color changes.

    3. Content Guidelines
    Text
    • Keep it concise—use bullet points or short sentences.
    • Avoid overloading slides; use 6x6 rule (max six words per line, six lines per slide).
    Visuals
    • Incorporate charts, graphs, images, and icons to enhance understanding.
    • Ensure visuals are high-quality and relevant.
    Multimedia
    • Use animations and transitions sparingly for emphasis.
    • Embed videos or audio clips where they add value but test them beforehand.

    4. Ensure Accessibility
    • Readable Text- Use large font sizes and avoid overly decorative fonts.
    • Color Accessibility- Avoid red-green combinations; use accessible design tools to check
    for visibility.
    • Captions/Subtitles- Add captions for videos or images if needed.

    5. Keep Engagement in Mind


    • Include interactive elements such as polls, quizzes, or discussion prompts.
    • Use storytelling techniques or relatable examples to connect with the audience.
    • Pose questions or scenarios to maintain audience interest.

    6. Technical Preparedness
    • Test your slides on different devices to ensure compatibility.
    • Use presenter mode for notes and timing.
    • Save your presentation in multiple formats (e.g., .pptx, PDF).

    7. Practice Delivery
    • Rehearse your presentation to ensure smooth transitions and time management.
    • Prepare to elaborate on slides, as they should only support your spoken content.

    8. Feedback and Final Touches


    • Seek feedback from peers to refine your presentation.
    • Double-check for grammar, spelling, and consistency errors.
    • Ensure all links and embedded media work correctly.
