6
SLIDE DECK DESIGNExpress your ideas in the most effective way.
7
I LOVE KEYNOTE.No to PowerPoint*, no to Prezi. Definitely no to Google Slides. Or anything else.
*PowerPoint is getting better than it used to be though.8
TYPOGRAPHY
Use flair sparingly.
Have one style for headings, one style for body.
Sans-serif fonts work better.
ALL CAPS HEADINGS ARE IN.
9
COLORHigh contrast is good
Dark backgrounds and bright text
Use color for emphasis
10
VISUAL HIERARCHY
notice this
firstYou will
11
VISUAL HIERARCHY
Don’t let your headings overpower your slides.
Don’t let images overpower your text.
Don’t use bold/italics for emphasis - use color instead.
12
LAYOUTDivide your slides into columns
Left align rather than center
Vertically-middle alignment
13
USE YOUR SLIDES AS CUE CARDSThey should quickly tell you what to say, rather than say it for you.
14
ANIMATIONS
BLUR
EVERY ANIMATION IMPLIES SOMETHING.
FIREWORKS
CONFETTI FADE
TRACE ANVIL15
ANVILresist the urge to use these animations everywhere!

WHEN LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS
Work with what you have. Look at where you’re presenting, look at what you’re presenting on.
18
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGY
Make sure your slide deck works well on the hardware used to display it.
19
PROJECTOR DISPLAY MUCH MORE COMMON
Lower resolution and contrast, so images/slides look different than they would on your screen. Use high contrast on your slides to offset this.
20
PROJECTOR DISPLAY MUCH MORE COMMON
Note whether you would be blocking the monitor while presenting. If you will, use bright colors sparingly.
21
PROJECTOR DISPLAY MUCH MORE COMMON
Note whether you would be blocking the monitor while presenting. If you will, use bright colors sparingly.
Brightly lit foreheads during a presentation annoy me.
22
LED SCREENS/ MONITORS MORE EXPENSIVE
Higher resolution and contrast means things look like they do on your computer.
-> More flexibility
23
LED SCREENS/ MONITORS MORE EXPENSIVE
Generally these screens tend to be smaller in comparison, so design accordingly.
24
LED SCREENS/ MONITORS MORE EXPENSIVE
Try to stay away from white here as well, you don’t want to blind your audience.
25
PAPER HANDOUTS ?!
Try not to use slide decks as printouts or documents to send to someone. The best slide decks need a presenter; and you won’t be there to present them.
If you have to, make sure you have a white background so as to not waste ink.
26
THINGS TO KEEP IN CONSIDERATION
Visibility/legibility
How wide/narrow is your room?
How attentive is your audience?
27
DO’SGive your text breathing space
28
INFORMATION DESIGNExpress your numbers so they convey your ideas.
