Use this template for presentations of projects conducted in the Polymer Engineering Center.

Use Helvetica font for text.

Avoid significant font size variations.

When possible, limit the colors of text to Black, Red and Blue.

When possible, avoid the use of animation tools (transitions, text, images).

Don't overwhelm the audience by adding too many plots, figures or text to a slide.

Make sure the presentation follows a logical or chronological sequence.

When referring to software or equipment, include full name (i.e. COMSOL Multiphysics ®).

For conferences, include S.I. units in plots and tables.

Set videos to start automatically.

Avoid the use of figures and photos downloaded from the internet. If you do, include a reference.

Always prepare a conclusions slide.

*Rule of thumb: 1 minute per slide.
