Planning your presentation
• Your message, Start by identifying the core
ideas that you want to communicate and
organizing the facts you will need to support
them, use text, images, sounds to convey the
information clearly
• Your audience, The most important
consideration is planning a presentation is
knowing who you are presenting it to. Is this for
technical or for non technical

Planning your presentation
• Your medium, Decide your medium, conventional
photographic slides or over head projector
transparencies, 8 x10 projection screen effectively
convey much more information
• Room size and lighting, All things being equal larger
the room, larger the type and images you used. If the
lights will be dimmed during the talk, consider going with
light color slide background, to help lighten the room and
enable your audience to see you and ideally, pay more
attention to what you are saying
