Use of Colour Use a font colour that contrasts sharply with the
background
a font colour that does not contrast with the
background colour is hard to read
a different colour for each point is unnecessary
Trying to be creative can also be bad
Bright colours can put a strain on the eyes

Use key words
This page contains too many words for a presentation slide.Dont try to cram a lot of text on every slide and avoid longand complete sentences, otherwise the audience will spend
toomuch time trying to read what is written instead oflistening to you. Use bullet points and keywords only! Nomore than six bullets per slide and six words per bullet is agood rule.
