Make limited use of ALL CAPS for emphasis because it's difficult to read. Legibility is determined by how close you can get the camera to the copy and how large you can project the image on the screen, not the size of the typed letters. Use several slides with limited information on each, rather than one complex slide with all of your data. Limit each slide to one main idea. To make typewritten slides that can be seen from the back of the room, use the template to the right as a guide for typing the material.
Color is more pleasing on the screen.
You can use different colors to group different data to give variety to your slide set. Colored slides do not show scratches and lint as easily as slides with clear or white backgrounds, although you should avoid color combinations that might be hard on viewers' eyes.
