Guidelines for Preparing

Slides
SUNA speakers information
FYI prior to the conference
 SUNA is no longer printing a syllabus,
so power point presentations will be
uploaded prior to the meeting for
attendees to print the handouts
they’d like to bring with them.
 These will be uploaded as a PDF so
that your work is protected –
registrants will simply print these
PDFs to bring on-site.
Post-conference
 SUNA is now partnered with Digitell, Inc,
which will allow us to provide quality
education to our members and colleagues
unable to attend our Symposium and
Conference.
 The PowerPoint presentation and a digital
recording of the session will be made
available in our on-line library to those
who have attended, or pay to have access
to, these sessions. Note – The PowerPoint
presentation cannot be downloaded
except as a handout. Therefore, you do
not have to worry about attendees using
your PowerPoint inappropriately.
Outline formats are Easier to Follow
Use Bullets, not numbers
 Bullets
imply no significant order
 Use numbers only to show rank or
sequence
No More than One Topic per page
Use the 6 X 6 rule:

6 lines of text
6 words per line
Illustrations

Allow plenty of room


around borders
and illustrations
Select Readable Type Size
This is 38 point
Minimum 36 point for titles

 24 for body text

 This is 32
Use a Readable Typeface and
Font
 Use Sans serif (no curly feet) such as Arial
or universal for body text

 Use serif such as Perpetua for titles


only
Adjust Lettering to Discriminate
or emphasize
 Maketitles a larger type size than
body elements

 Emphasize important statements of


words with bold, italic, underline,
larger size, or different font.
Choose color carefully
 Usethe same color consistently
throughout the presentation

 Uselight letters on a dark


background
Colors
 Avoidplacing saturated colors (red, green,
or blue) adjacent to each other

 Theymay create a third color where the


two colors meet
Use solid colors instead of fill
Patterns on Charts
 Patterns on bars or 90
pie slices cause 80

Your slides are not your
presentation
 Your slides are a focus of your
presentation
 Your presentation is not proof of your
thesis
 You present your proof with slides to
focus interest on what you think is
important
Use Silence Wisely
 Recall: You have to give the
audience time to read the slide
 But: Silence is uncomfortable, so
you can’t keep quiet
 So: You end up reading your slide to
the audience
 Which is: Usually irritating to the
audience!
Slides that should be included
 The first slide, following your title
slide, should be one that has your
disclosure information on it –
whether you have a vested interest
that the participant needs to be
aware of.
Slides that should be added
 The last slides are a good place to add
your references as often participants
want to know where to go for further
information. Because of handouts no
longer being available in a syllabus,
having the references in the slides
assists the learner from not having to
go into a Word document to find them
when these are placed in our on-line
library
