The key factors of a presentation are texts, images, and public speaking skills. However, there are more things that you should keep in mind for making a perfect presentation.
Do’s
• Plan your presentation on paper first separately, considering the main factors and points that you need to include in your presentation. Outline the key points, messages, and objectives that you need to cover.
• Just try to keep the words limited and do all the preparation before doing the final work. Do all the research about the assigned before arranging the research work.
• Try to put yourself in listener’s shoes. Make a presentation keeping in mind the type of audience and their choice and preferences. Audience choice is of prime importance, and thus, you should consider it.
• You should choose the photos wisely. The type and quality of images that you should choose should be according to the topics and should be able to convey your messages to the audience without distracting them from the speech.
• Send your presentations to other people to get the response from them which can help you to make changes to your presentation and make it better in every possible manner. Usually, the best presentation is the one which is completed with the help of everyone and is rarely created by an individual.
• Try to have some fun with your presentation. The presentation that is the most memorable one is the best. It depends on the content of the presentation and your presentation.
Don’ts
• Everyone doesn’t have a same level of knowledge; so, try to give enough details under the title for the people of least knowledge to understand. Hence, sufficient details and describing images is a must for every presentation.
• Don’t make your presentation by what you know and what you want to say. Audience preferences are very necessary and try to know what your audience wants to hear rather than just writing what you know.
• Don’t mix up different fonts and styles in your presentation. A consistent presentation is the better one because it creates a constant feel during the presentation in the listener’s head.
• Don’t just read your presentation. If you are unable to understand your topic with the complete perfection then, you won’t be answerable to the questions. Thus, the overall knowledge of the assigned topic is a must.
• Don’t overuse effects and transitions because transitions and effects don’t enhance the listener’s experience. Rather they distract the audience; hence, you should use fewer effects and keep them consistent.
