Have you seen the same thing over and over again whenever you see a power point? This happens because there is only so much a person can customize on a power point. Also, in this a lot of people don't know the guidelines to making a power point. Some of my pet peeves about power points are too many words on a page, same color font and background color, spelling errors, too many bullets, and too many actions. First, if a person puts too many words on a slide, the audience will be spending too much time reading your power point than listening to the presenter. Also, this shows that you are not a very confident presenter and don't know your subject because you will be reading the whole time off the slides instead of engaging the audience. Next, is using the same type of colors on the background as the fonts. This causes great strain on the audience because their eyes can’t focus on the words and gives them headaches. Also, they can’t read your information. Then there is the people who are in a big hurry to turn their power point in and they forget to check the grammar and spelling in their slides. This provokes readers to stop reading because they can’t understand what your try to say because they can’t read the words. After that there is the problem with people using too many bullet points on a slide. This is a problem because it creates to small of words and not enough info on a bullet point to make sense. This person needs to make more slides or take out information that is less important.

This was a good, strong entry. Watch out for grammar, though.
