The PowerPoint presentation is an essential communication-related skill while you are preparing for a presentation, a meeting, knowledge-sharing session, demo-session, or any formal event. Well-structured content in a PowerPoint presentation helps in significantly improving the content-flow and content-delivery. This blog will help you organize content for a PowerPoint presentation.
Start by dividing the content into three parts. They are:
- Introduction
- Body
- Conclusion
Content Structure for an Introduction
- Define objective(s).
- Always set the plot for your presentation.
- Give a (welcome) introduction. An introduction paragraph should contain 100 words.
- Overall, while you are writing a paragraph make sure you do not exceed 150 words with approximately 4-5 lines.
Content Structure for Body
- Define or list out all the relevant points.
- Support your relevant points with detailed arguments where necessary.
- While working on your body section, if you are creating content for the audience, remember to break the paragraph after you write either 8-10 lines or exceed 150 words. For oral presentations, try to present maximum information through bullet points, with a sentence limited to 25 words.
Content Structure for Conclusion
- The main takeaways from the presentation.
- Scope of the content.
- Summary of the content.
- In conclusion, use bullet points and limit a sentence to 25 words.
Some important points to consider;
- Always proof-read the content, complement the format, and follow the word limit.
- Use an aesthetic design such as; watermark or logo of your company. Avoid using a watermark if it diverts the attention of your audience.
- Do not use a copyrighted image. In case you use one, provide an authentic reference to the source.
