One day, Lily and Lloyd were asked to create PowerPoint presentations for their Senior Thesis papers.

Their approaches were very different.
Title Slides
Title Slides
• Lily began with a title slide that contains a title, her name, and the date.

Title Slides
• Lloyd didn’t have one. His PowerPoint began with a random slide about his topic.

Beginnings
• Lloyd had an example that made no sense because he hadn’t introduced his main point.
Everyone in the audience looked like this:

Slide Construction
• Lily – put the topic at the top of her slide– bulleted her text and supplemented with her speech.– used a font large enough to read

Slide Construction
• Lloyd – forgot his title. – put way too much text on one slide (and read
from it).– used a small font.

Poor Lloyd!
Visual Appeal
Visual Appeal• Lily – enhanced her presentation with relevant pictures
• Cited with a URL
– picked a professional design– used an plain light color for her background and a dark
color for her text

Visual Appeal
• Lloyd – either had too many pictures and no pictures at all.
• And (boo!) he forgot to cite his pictures.
– picked a style that distracted from his topic.– used light text and a dark, patterned background
