Spread your information over multiple slides rather than crowding words and graphics on a single slide. Organize basic presentation outline. A. Presenter name, topic, class, etc. B. Objectives so audience knows what you will be discussing C. Body of presentation D. Repeat list of objectives for a group review E. Summary of information presented. Limit colors and control contrast.
Color can be a powerful visual tool.
Use it sparingly. Ensure adequate contrast between text color and background color. Use light letters, such as white or pale yellow, against a dark-colored background, such as blue or green. Highly textured, multi-color fills and loud backgrounds can be distracting. Avoid white backgrounds that can strain viewer s eyes in a darkened room.
