But you probably already know that. However, as we have always a lot of lab work to do, it isn&#8217;t easy to find time to create an attractive and professional presentation. Especially when you don&#8217;t have the right tool.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">But an attractive presentation is very important not just to keep the audience attention but to&nbsp;be taken seriously as a scientist. In other words, you need to value your data. You will achieve this&nbsp;by stetting&nbsp;high standards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">I already wrote several tutorials on how to create presentations for scientific conferences. You can find them <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/slide-template-presentations\/#.Xitmc2hKgdU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here <\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/scientific-presentations-2\/#.XitmgWhKgdU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">here<\/a>. But today I want to talk specifically about the use of pattern between the slides. It is the best way to create an harmonic and professional presentation. This means, you need to combine the cover with the other slides.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_10700\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-10700\" style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/templates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-10700 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/giphy-slides.gif\" alt=\"giphy slides\" width=\"480\" height=\"360\"><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-10700\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Template available on mind the graph<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Take a look of 3 things to pay attention when you are creating a presentation for scientific conferences:<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong>01. Color<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Colors are a powerful tool to set a pattern in a creation. It will help the reader (or the audience) to follow you and understand the connection between the subjects you are presenting to them.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">According to our designers, you must to structure the layout to create a natural information flow, with highlighted information that the reader will see first, even from a distance, such as title and main image. The more secondary information should be less prominent in order not to pollute the view and take priority. The best way to do that is using colors. A vivid color will catch the attention quickly. Keep them to the main information of your slide. Meanwhile a grayscale will be more&nbsp;discreet and it is recommend to be used in secondary elements.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/how-to-make-an-infographic-6\/#.XitY72hKgdU\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-10698\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0_x0oigzawat6kbir2.png\" alt=\"0_X0OIGZAwat6kBIR2\" width=\"550\" height=\"461\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0_x0oigzawat6kbir2.png 940w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0_x0oigzawat6kbir2-300x251.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/0_x0oigzawat6kbir2-768x644.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Important: Choose one or two main color to your presentation and the repeat it in the slides.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Check out this video tutorial:<\/p>\n<p><center><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Combining Colors in an Infographic\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/rRUXq30jBvE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><\/center><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">To combine colors you can use complementary colors.<a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/how-to-make-an-infographic-6\/#.XitY72hKgdU\"> I explained about in this post<\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>02. Typography<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/scientific-fonts\/\">Choosing the font<\/a> of your presentation is very&nbsp;important. This will help you to make&nbsp;it more professional and provide an intuitive experience to the reader. Keep in mind that your audience&nbsp;will be at a considerable distance, so test if your text is easy to be seen and read. <strong>Separate paragraphs and headlines clearly and do not use many different fonts.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Also, remember that you will be speaking while your audience look to the slides and read the text. Do not pollute the slide with too many text.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The slide must NOT compete with you. Rather, slides are a tool to help people visualize what you are saying to them.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Choose at most 3 fonts and maintain consistency. Also, choose fonts that are more professionals and easy to read like helvetica, gothan and so on . You can use a different and cool font to the headline but avoid the \u201ccomic sans\u201d effect.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>03. Images<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is my favourite part of creating a presentation. Images are very powerful to&nbsp;explain something&nbsp;and catch the attention of the audience. Normally the images in scientific conferences are charts, photography and illustrations.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to use accurate scientific illustrations.<\/p>\n<p>I strongly recommend you to move from this to this:<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-7679\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.mindthegraph.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/infographic65293-e1491944335690-1024x579.png\" alt=\"infographic65293-e1491944335690\" width=\"550\" height=\"311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/infographic65293-e1491944335690-1024x579.png 1024w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/infographic65293-e1491944335690-300x170.png 300w, https:\/\/mindthegraph.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/infographic65293-e1491944335690-768x434.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 550px) 100vw, 550px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On mind the graph you will find thousands of scientific illustrations to use on infographics, posters, presentations and more. You can create your presentation and download it in pdf or png format. You also can present directly on mind the graph.<\/p>\n<p>To use a photography or to show a chart you can upload it to the platform. It is very easy.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>To save time: Start from templates<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>We have several presentation templates available.
