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.
