The Deck

Know your audience

One idea per slide
Use of images to support ideas – don’t
use a lot of text
Be organized – beginning, middle, end
Assemble a Draft
Presentation
Create a Draft Presentation
Version control is important in everything you
do
• Name your presentation file TEAMNAMEv1
• After any major update or change add +1 so v2,
v3 etc.
• Do not just delete or discard the versions of your
presentations
• Start with a white presentation and black
lettering
• Use pre-set fonts and be pre-set point size etc.
• You will customize by adding graphics etc. once
you have the information firmed up
Create a Draft Presentation
• Do not get caught up in anything up in
•
anything BUT the information for first
version
Themes, images, colors etc will come
after the information is set...this is so
you don’t waste time perfecting
something that is not relevant.
