How To Structure Your Presentation Slides
1. Always Design An Appealing Cover Slide
Never overlook the cover of your presentation slide because it plays an important role in setting the tone and style for your whole presentation. Always use a captivating graphic on your cover slide to catch your audience’s attention.

2. Always Use A Maximum Of Ten Slides
A maximum of 10 slides should be given in 20 minutes, and the size of the text on each slide should be no less than 30 point. This helps ensure that the information provided on each slide is necessary; it also forces you to explain your slides.

3. Always Design A Unique Template
There are some steps in designing professional templates. Consider designing your own template by following some of the steps given on various websites, or purchase a template. This will allow you to create the theme that is best suited to your presentation. Audiences have seen the common

PowerPoint templates time and time again, so give them something different to look at. The extra effort that you take in creating something unique will pay off in helping to maintain audience attention.

4. Ensure That Your Content Is Correct
Never be in a hurry while preparing the content of your presentation slides. Edit and proofread your slides to make sure that the spelling and grammar is perfect. No one wants to look at a slide that has a spelling mistake on it, and no one will trust the opinion of someone whose presentation is riddled with errors.

5. Use Slides To Clarify Points And Ensure That Your Presentation Flows From Slide To Slide
Slides should not carry the entire message. They are there to reinforce your message. You should also avoid reading the slides directly (line by line). Ensure that the ideas in your presentation transits smoothly. Smooth transitions can help your presentation to flow easily from one idea to the next and from one slide to the next.

You do not necessarily have to use fancy style transitions, but you can use verbal clues to tell your audience what is coming up on the next slide—and why they need to know.

6. Summarize Your Points At last
Prepare your audience for what is coming, and then use the body of your presentation to tell them your three major points. Use your last slide to summarize your presentation and remind the audience about key points they might have already forgotten.

How To Prepare Aesthetically Pleasing Slides

1. Do Not Put Too Much Information In One Slide
Do not include too much text. Try to keep your slides clutter-free and full of blank space. A good rule of thumb is 30–40 words per slide.

2. Always Be Concise
It has been proven that the average human attention span is eight seconds, which is less than the attention span of a goldfish (nine seconds)! You need to be clear and get your point across quickly before your audience zones out. Make sure that the text on your slides is meaningful to your presentation.

3. Learn To Use The Right Colour At The Right Time
Different colors evoke different emotions. For example, red is associated with passion and urgency, blue is calming and evokes tranquility, orange conveys energy and warmth, and green is associated with nature and the environment, while black is heavy and formal.
