7 TIPS TO MAKE A PERFECT PPT.
1. IMAGE>WORDS
It is one of the common mistakes committed by everyone. They tend to have more content and fewer images but the rule is the opposite. You should tend to cover more images in PPT rather than a lengthy context. Keep in mind you are making PPT not writing an essay. Slides are a poor medium for detailed reading. Do not include sentences or paragraphs. Make your slides as short as possible and focus on using words and phrases to make your points.
2. 7 BY 7 RULE.
The 7x7 rule is for each slide to use not more than 7 lines or 7 bullet points & no more than 7 words per line. A 7x7 rule reduces the amount of time staff members spend pretending to care about PowerPoint slides and instead allows them to focus on slide information that's relevant, contextual, and actionable.
3.10-20-30 RULE OF POWERPOINT.
The rule was created by Guy Kawasaki to help marketers create excellent PowerPoint presentations. In simple terms, the 10/20/30 rule of PowerPoint states that no PowerPoint presentation should include more than ten slides, last for longer than 20 minutes, and use a font smaller than 30 points. 4.READING. The speaker or audience should not read during a verbal presentation. Instead, interactive listening and speaking should be the focus. Written and spoken language have different demands. Speaking is shorter, more direct, and less formal. A presentation is ruined by reading text. Handouts for the audience are related to this point. Presenting requires you to capture and hold the attention of your audience. Your audience will instead read handouts than listen to you if you distribute them before the presentation. Suspense is often needed to engage an audience in an effective presentation. This element is lost if the audience can read everything you are going to say.

5.VISUAL CLICHES.
Visual clichés are prevalent in presentation templates. Your ideas are forced into someone else's prepackaged mold by using templates. Backgrounds and color schemes in template designs are often distracting. Use the same principles for your slides as you would for web graphics. Feature your company's logo at the top corner or create your own unique look.
6.COLOUR
A single screen should have a maximum of four colors. Bright colors make thin or small objects stand out. When projected, some vibrant colors can be difficult to read. Keep charts to no more than four colors on one page. View all colors before presenting. There may be differences in color projection between the monitor and the projector.
7.DATA IN APPENDIX
Charts and graphs are commonly used in PowerPoint presentations. Thus, the details will be condensed into a few charts that are easy to understand. A presentation deck includes an appendix for backup purposes. They may not be presented, but your audience will appreciate the fact that they were included. You can use that information afterward so that your presentation remains useful.
I hope you consider this when you make your next PPT :).
