Top Presentation Tips:
An occasional series on handy tips to help you with your presentations

Keep Your Fonts Simple in Your Presentation
Choose a font that is simple and easy to read. If you travel with your presentation choose a font that you know will be on all PCs like Arial, Times New Roman or Verdana, stay away from the fancy ones. One font for headlines and a second for body copy, with the type size fairly large, say 30pt, so everyone can read the slides. Give your font some contrast against the background color to help them stand out.

United Kingdom Editable Printable PowerPoint Maps

Great Britain is in the news lately because of their recent election. so I thought this would be a good couple of maps to show from our collection.

We have two United Kingdom maps. One is a general Great Britain map including Scotland, Wales, England, and Northern Ireland. This map also includes Ireland. This maps has a general breakdown of their administrative districts. We also have a much more detailed UK map showing all of the administrative districts or the counties. This map took a long time to draw and a longer time to find a source for. We ended up licensing it from the Ordinance Department in Britain. I think this department is kind of like our USGS department or something similar. But it is a cool map. Both are available at our websites.

If you are traveling to Great Britain, check out Rick Steves's Great Britain book available at Amazon. I watch his PBS travel shows all the time.

Both of these maps are available in PowerPoint and Adobe Illustrator.

"Last month, I asked Slate readers to send me their hand-drawn maps. The request was part of my series on signs, the tools that professionals use to orient us and direct us from point A to point B. But official signs aren't the only things that help us get around. Since early man first drew on his cave wall—including marks that some scholars argue were maps of local rivers and settlements—we've been sketching out routes to guide one another to the market and to the mountain top.
