There comes a time in our life when we have to give presentations. For most of us, it’s hard to present in front of everyone. We think about the ideas of how to do it in a professional and best way. As the world is moving forward, there are many UI/UX designs available, but the thing is how to do it well?
Most importantly many companies consider presentation to be a part of the interview process. Even college campuses are beginning to consider in the acceptance process.
How can I present it professionally?
You’ll want to cover the entire subject for a presentation and offer as much detail as can fit on a slide. Then you’ll go to Google to find some cool images and artwork. In addition to that, with a little fancy animation, you would want to cover your presentation.
With the help of the tips mentioned below, you can present the perfect UI/UX design.
Your Personality
The main thing to remember is that the presentation is you. Your voice, facial expressions anything that comes in your personality is a part of your presentation as a whole. Try not to let your masterful presentation covered up in a lousy speaking. However, practice is the key to nail it. Keep on practicing and memorizing your presentation.
Making your presentation
There are several points that you need to keep in mind while making your presentation.
- Use market segmentation.
- Analyze the target audience.
- Create user personas.
- Understand the needs and behaviors of your listeners.
- Set a general style.
- Choose pictures and templates.
- Color schemes.
- Don’t overcomplicate.
Use white space and play with user attention
Whitespace is the section of the slide free of text, images, and charts. For best results, use a lot of space around your objects. Make your presentation less crowded and easy to read by everyone.
Moreover, you can separate content into logical blocks with the help of white space. Keep your audience attentive towards the main point. In addition to that, you can also focus on one item of words, text, and design to achieve audience attention.
Font types
Select only well readable forms. You can always choose the one that suits your slides, but they need to be readable. Most people prefer the ones they are already comfortable with.
Here is a list of fonts mostly prefer:
- Helvetica
- Poppins
- Open Sans
- Verdana
- Roboto
- Lato
- Futura
Font size
Be very careful with the selection of the font size. Keep titles, subtitles, and textual blocks standard across every slide.
Here are safe tips that you need to keep in mind.
- Titles – 24
- Subtitles – 18
- Main text – 14-16
Images
Do not use photos with watermarks in your presentation. Use images from the websites that give free access. Here is a list of a couple of those sites that provides you with free access.

Colors
Another important thing is to use colors with adequate contrast. Complementary pairs such as red-cyan, green–magenta, and blue-yellow will work well.
Bear in mind that the text of the paragraph should only have a single color. Notice that all colors are rendered paler by projectors. In this scenario, light grey text on a white background won’t fit at all. For the recommended presentation observations, have high contrast.
Slide Composition
Try not to overload your slides. Divide the room on each slide horizontally into three equal sections and vertically into three equal sections. Ensure that for boundaries, you have fair whitespace.
Conclusion
Treat your presentation as a visual object. A bit of marketing research on your audience, font system, color scheme, grid composition of elements and whitespace will make magic.
