A Few Design Principles

• Simplify
• Use text effectively
• Keep it balanced and uniform
• Use color effectively

31
Simplify

• Plan three to five text slides per major concept
• Use just one main concept for each slide
• Limit each slide to five or less bulleted points
• Avoid too many objects on a slide

32
Use Text Effectively

• Avoid too many typefaces use bold, italic or
  shadow instead
  
• Use font size of at least 18 points
• Avoid using all uppercase letters
• Use more sans serif and serif fonts
• Use concise, targeted phrases instead of sentences

33
Keep It Balanced and Uniform

• Use same slide background, color scheme, and
  template
  
• Use same fonts, sizes, and attributes throughout
• Limit slide transition effects

34
Use Color Effectively

• Keep color contrasts high
• Test color combination on final delivery system
• Avoid juxtaposing red and green (color blind
  individuals may find this hard to read)
