Organizing Text • Don’t use too many different fonts. • DON’T USE ALL CAPS. • Avoid fonts that are distracting: – Braggadocio – Oz. Handicraft BT – Shelley Volante BT
Organizing Text • Don’t include your entire speech on the slides.

Organizing Animation Effects • These effects can be interesting additions to your presentation, but they can also be distracting. Use them sparingly to add emphasis. • To animate, right-click on the text or image and select Custom Animation from the menu. • Select the effect you want to use, determine the order of the animations on the slide, and make sure to preview.
Organizing Animation Effects • Take time while in this screen to determine how your animation effects will appear. • Clicking on the Timing menu gives you options so that your textboxes, clip art, and other animation elements can be presented on a mouse click, automatically, or automatically after a preset length of time.
Balancing the Elements • Even if you follow all the suggestions for setting up your slide and its elements, you still may find that your presentation is hard to follow. • It is important to go back through your completed presentation and make sure that the overall experience of watching it is pleasant as well as educational.
Balancing the Elements • Defining a balanced slide may seem like a matter of opinion, but there are concrete criteria, including: • Clip art and text must fit together well. No element -- title, points, graphics -- should overpower the others. • Headings should be consistent in size and placement. They should be large and clear. • Easy to understand.
Example of a Balanced Slide Text is easy to read and well sized. The clip art illustrates the slide and is well placed on the layout. The title is large and clear. Good use of contrasting colors on slide and in font.
Example of an Unbalanced Slide Text is too small. Title and color scheme are still fine. Clip art is too large. This slide is hard to read and places unnecessary emphasis on the artwork.
