How to create less annoying powerpoints
Choose a simple template with high contrast between text and background, though preferably not a white background with black text, which can cause eye strain (and effectively blind people in a darkened presentation room).
Avoid gradient backgrounds.
They make text clarity inconsistent, and are reproduced less faithfully across different monitors and projectors.
Avoid the temptation to put your logo on every slide. The more you show it, the less it means.
