Do not use small lettering with masses of space around it, but neither should you place text or objects too close to the edge of the frame - you may find that the slide mount cuts off lettering or information. Slides have to be legible. If you wish to use a non-standard font, check with us first that it is available on the computers. Keep text short and to the point. If you go over 30 words on a slide, a significant percentage of your audience will not read it.
People read sentences in capital letters at about half the speed of lower case.
A darker, saturated background works well, with lighter pastel colours for text and fills. Colours should be complementary, black and dark blues inevitably do not show up on a dark background, neither do light colours on a light background. This is due to variances in monitors, colour vision, film batches and processing. If you wish, bring us a sample slide or two and we will image them free of charge to check the final colour balance. We can advise on colour choices and combinations.
