Choosing Presentation Aids
Limit the reading required of the audience. The audience should not spend a long time reading the visual aid; you want them listening to you. Limit the total number of lines on an aid to six or fewer, and write points as short phrases rather than complete sentences. There should be as little text on the screen as possible to communicate the ideas.
Layout
Six lines of text Six words across Write as phrases Do not use sentences
Simplify: The Rule of Six
Keep the typeface easy to read Use Upper and Lowercase letters
Keep the typeface easy to read Use Upper and Lowercase letters ALL UPPERCASE IS HARD TO READ
