Presentation Style Guide

Using Animation within Your Presentation

  • Animated builds, moves, highlights and transitions can help visually reinforce your message. However, these are often overused by presenters and can detract from the message you are trying to convey. Different versions of PowerPoint have different sets of animation features that are not always backwards compatible; it is best to use as little animation as possible to keep your audience focused on your content, and minimize problems in portability.
Fonts
  • The presentation systems are usually loaded with standard system fonts. If your presentation contains any special fonts, you must provide a copy of the font to be loaded on the presentation system. 
  • PC users - to be safe, use a standard font like Arial or Times New Roman to create your presentation.
  • Mac users - many fonts with the same names are spaced differently on Mac's and PC's. The Tahoma font is designed to be identical on both systems, so using it whenever possible will help avoid the need to adjust things once your presentation is moved to a PC.
