Follow this guide and you are sure to bore your audience, give them headaches, and generally hate you, your company, meetings and projectors as a whole.

1. How To Make A Terrible Presentation A STEP BY STEP GUIDE By: yourpresentationblows.com

2. Agenda Creating an Agenda Using a template to give your presentation credibility Adding too much meaningless content Advanced presentation tips Summarizing the content Asking for Questions

3. Creating An Agenda Always, always, always include an agenda If people don’t know what your going to tell them, they won’t know what they are about to not listen too! Probably a good place for a random clock Reminds audience that this is going to suck More on clipart later Make sure to include items such as “Conclusion” on your agenda

4. Using a Template Templates give your slides “pizzazz” as the Germans like to say Microsoft is well known for some of the best templates ever It takes the hard part of picking nice looking colors out of the mix Don’t be afraid to stray from the template, think of it as a guide more than “rules” Try center justification! Try a different Font Change your FONT size and color liberally! MARGIN SMARGIN!

5. Adding YOUR CONTENT Don’t forget that you will certainly print these slides out and give them to your audience in a binder. The idea is to put lots of color so it looks very “artsy” and stuff.

6. When Putting in Graphs: Don’t forget this will be on a projector, which is huge! Small numbers will become sometimes 3 feet tall! So keep everything small! Graphs also give your data more credibility, regardless if they have meaning or not.

7. Gradients Gradients are another big attention getter Nothing says “I am a black belt at using PowerPoint” like a random gradient

8. The importance of Animations Anyone can create a simple powerpoint and its not that hard to use a template. To really set your powerpoint apart you need [DRUMROLL] ANIMATIONS!!!!!!!!!

9. Creating A Conclusion A conclusion really wraps up your presentation This will allow for you to tell all the sleepers who just woke up what you just talked about Can’t let them off that easily!

10. Answering Questions Questions should be held until the end Create a slide that says: Questions? Maybe include a question mark art When you don’t know the answer just make something up? If they realize what your doing just say ill talk to you after

11. Conclusion Put a lot of content on each page Go wild and be liberal with templates! The more effects and colors = more respect At least one piece of clipart per page Animations = powerpoint domination Follow the agenda, content, conclusion, questions rule to avoid surprising your audience Be sure to print out slides for future reference, it is always appreciated by your audience who will never throw it away!
