                   CHARACTERISTICS OF GOOD PRESENTATION


                 A good quality presentation is crucial for effectively conveying the message to the audience. To ensure clarity
                 and engagement, the following guidelines should be followed during its preparation:

                 Ð Ð Know your Target Audience: A presentation should be made to meet the requirements of the target
                   audience. Ensure a logical flow of topics to maintain audience engagement and attention.

                 Ð Ð Use a Basic Colour Scheme: The colours used in the background should be bright but decent. There should
                   be a proper contrast between the colours used in the background and the fonts used in the foreground.
                   Avoid vibrant colours in official presentations. The font colour should be dark.

                 Ð Ð Short and Simple Sentences: Sentences should be small and preferably shown through bullets. One slide
                   contains 5-8 lines. Adding a greater number of lines to a slide will make it clumsy.

                 Ð Ð Image, Graphs, Tables: A slide should contain one or more pictures or tables. Inserting too many graphics
                   makes the slide look messy and unorganised.

                 Ð Ð Use Proper Font: While preparing a presentation we should take care of font size with respect to the
                   place of deliverance, i.e., the area of the room or auditorium and, the distance between the screen and the
                   audience. Font size should be easily readable. Large font sizes can be used to highlight the importance of
                   different words.

                 Ð Ð Animation and Videos: Try to include one video or animation in a slide. Overuse of multimedia elements
                   can distract from the presentation’s message.

                 Ð Ð Correct Language and Grammar: The content displayed in the slide should be formal, decent and error-free
                   in terms of spelling and language. Read the slides carefully before displaying them.


                    Recap Zone

                   Ð  Effective communication is important for exchanging thoughts and information.
                   Ð  Visual information is more effectively processed and understood by the human brain.

                   Ð  A presentation is a way of systematic display of information.
                   Ð  The software that is used to organise and display information through text, pictures, figures, etc., is
                     known as presentation software.
                   Ð  A presentation may contain the elements, like Text, Graphics/Images, Audio, Video, Animation, Tables,
                     List Items, etc.

                   Ð  A good quality presentation is crucial for effectively conveying the message to the audience.
