Begin by opening PowerPoint and becoming familiar with the tool bar at the top and the different drop menus available so that you can easily navigate within the program. Next you should decide whether you are going to design your own template, or use a template available through PowerPoint.
PowerPoint templates range from simple (Retrospect), to elegant (ION Boardroom) to intensive colours (Vapor trail). I have included pictures below:
Choosing the right template will make planning out your presentation much easier as the headings and body areas will already be per-defined although you may make any changes that you wish. Headings should be bigger than the body text font. To make reading easier on your audience, as a general rule you shouldn't use more than 2 fonts in your presentation. Your font sizes should be between 24 and 36 points for easy viewing.
PowerPoint is full of options to allow you to create exactly the slides you want for your presentation needs. Feel free to play around with the program and decide what fonts and backgrounds are right for you.
The more you like your presentation slides, the more you will feel confident you will feel when you make your presentation!
