Slide Format -BadThis page contains too many words. It is not written in bullet point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. There is one less bullet point on this slide as the previous slide, but it’s much more complicated. Your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.Also, Don’t Capitalize Each WordPunctuate rarely; only complete sentences

Fonts - Good
Please use large fonts!Use at least a 24-point font, and try to
stick with a 26-point font or largerUse different size fonts for main points and
secondary pointsThis is a 24-point, the main point font is 28-
point, and the title font is 40-point

Font Color- GoodUse a color of font that contrasts
sharply with the backgroundEX: Black font on white background
Use color to reinforce the logic of your structureEX: Blue title and black text
Use color to emphasize a pointBut only use this occasionally

Font Color- BadAvoid the following:
Using a font color that does not contrast with the background color is hard to read
Using color for decoration is distracting and annoying
Using a different color for each point is unnecessaryUsing a different color for secondary points is also unnecessary
Trying to be creative can also be bad

Graphs - Good
Use graphs rather than just charts and wordsData in graphs are easier to comprehend
and retain than raw dataTrends are easier to visualize in graph form
Always title your graphs
