How to make my Powerpoint presentation stand out?

• I have to discuss an academic research article through a Powerpoint presentation and I would like some tips as to how to make it stand out. My research paper is about consumers' willingness to adopt ecological consumption habits. I did a Powerpoint presentation with a friend a couple of months ago and we decided to give handouts to our audience with additional information. I think it helped us to stand out as we were the only students to do so. However, I would like to do something more original for my next presentation. Thanks for your help. PS: I wasn't sure which category to choose for my question so sorry if it's the wrong one.

• Answer:

  I think the presentation needs to be colourful. A really pale blue is what I always use as a background colour as it is pleasant to look at and not too bad on peoples eyes (really JUST off white sort of blue!). I like to use a colour for the text as people often change the background but leave the text black. Because of the topic of your presentation I think green could be good for your presentation as it's about customers and I feel like green would fit. That's just a personal feeling.
