Formatting a Presentation

A PowerPoint presentation is a visual aid in which well-designed slides help the audience understand complex information while keeping them focused on the message. Color is an important element that provides uniformity and visual interest. When used correctly, color enhances your slides and draws the audiences interest by creating focus. When designing the background and element colors for your presentation, use a consistent look throughout the presentation and be sure that the colors you use provide contrast so that the text is visible on the background.

In Activities 3.1 through 3.15, you will format a presentation regarding emergency preparedness plans developed by the University Medical Center. The six slides of your completed project will look similar to Figure 3.1.
