1 Know your audience and purpose

The first step to optimize your slide design is to know who you are presenting to and why. Different audiences and purposes may require different levels of detail, interactivity, and visual appeal. For example, if you are presenting to a technical audience, you may want to use more data, charts, and diagrams, while if you are presenting to a general audience, you may want to use more stories, images, and metaphors. Similarly, if you are presenting to persuade, you may want to use more emotional and logical appeals, while if you are presenting to inform, you may want to use more facts and figures.

some audience might require mixture of the above ways of resenting information in order to achieve a specific objective. this is particularly encouraged in order to keep the presentation interesting and avoid a monotone pace and style which in my experience could lead to the audience lack of engagement and lose of interest.

2 Choose the right format and platform

The next step is to choose the format and platform that best suits your audience and purpose. Different formats and platforms have different advantages and disadvantages in terms of accessibility, interactivity, and quality. For example, online presentations can reach a wider and more diverse audience, but they may also face technical issues, distractions, and low engagement. Mobile presentations can be convenient and flexible, but they may also have limited screen size, battery life, and connectivity. Print presentations can be durable and portable, but they may also be costly, static, and outdated.

3 Adapt your slide layout and content

The third step is to adapt your slide layout and content to the chosen format and platform. Different formats and platforms have different requirements and constraints in terms of slide size, orientation, resolution, and readability. For example, online presentations may need to use landscape orientation, high resolution, and large fonts to ensure clarity and visibility on different devices and browsers. Mobile presentations may need to use portrait orientation, low resolution, and minimal text to avoid clutter and scrolling. Print presentations may need to use both orientations, medium resolution, and balanced text and graphics to create a professional and comprehensive document.

one thing, that is so small but yet so important, is Front. Making sure you have the right front and front size is a must. You may prepare an online presentation but end up having to present this on mobile due to technical problems. It's wise to think about what font and font size would work in both situations including text volume on each slide. a rule of thumb, if you find yourself reading what's on the slides then you probably have too much text on them hence you should trim it down.

4 Use consistent and appropriate design elements

The fourth step is to use consistent and appropriate design elements to enhance your slide design. Design elements include colors, fonts, images, icons, shapes, animations, transitions, and other visual aids that can help you convey your message, create contrast, emphasize points, and guide attention. However, you need to be careful not to overuse or misuse these elements, as they can also distract, confuse, or annoy your audience. For example, online presentations may benefit from using bright and contrasting colors, clear and legible fonts, relevant and high-quality images, and subtle and smooth animations and transitions. Mobile presentations may benefit from using simple and muted colors, standard and scalable fonts, icons and shapes instead of images, and no animations or transitions. Print presentations may benefit from using neutral and complementary colors, professional and consistent fonts, images with captions and sources, and no animations or transitions.

For example, it's wise to look back at your slides and see if you could replace any of the bullet-points with infographics and vice versa, sometimes, information can be presented and easily understood by audience if it's simply kept in bullet-point format. I would normally add a slide and present the same information in two different way, e.g. one slide using bullet-points and another using infographics then do a drive-run to help me make decision which slide flows better and delivers succinct but yet clearer message. If the presentation is for a client, you might want to use their colours and brand style (after check with client that's acceptable of course).

5 Test and preview your slides

The fifth step is to test and preview your slides on the format and platform you are using. This can help you identify and fix any errors, glitches, or inconsistencies that may affect your slide design and presentation. For example, online presentations may need to test and preview their slides on different devices, browsers, and internet speeds to ensure compatibility and functionality. Mobile presentations may need to test and preview their slides on different models, operating systems, and screen sizes to ensure adaptability and usability. Print presentations may need to test and preview their slides on different printers, paper sizes, and margins to ensure quality and accuracy.

It's also advisable to check with audience if any disabilities that require providing presentations in print format for example. Also, you could consider engaging with audience in advance to understand their preference regarding presentation format and platform

6 Get feedback and improve your slides

The final step is to get feedback and improve your slides based on the input and suggestions of your audience, peers, or experts. Feedback can help you evaluate the effectiveness and appeal of your slide design and presentation. It can also help you discover new ideas, perspectives, or improvements that can enhance your slides. For example, online presentations may get feedback from online surveys, polls, chats, or comments. Mobile presentations may get feedback from mobile apps, QR codes, or SMS. Print presentations may get feedback from face-to-face meetings, emails, or phone calls.

If the presentation is recorded, I could highly recommend going back and listening to recording. Many of us would avoid listen to their own voice recording. My advice, you should learn to fall in love with your voice and embrace its imperfection, if you want to be a proficient presenter.
