Audio signals in space
• Icons can be appropriately themed (see above)• There are many fonts available• Make sure there is not too much text for a
single page otherwise everything becomes crushed together and it is too daunting for the viewer and also don’t just read from the slide, try to use it as a guide or an outline
• Use comic sans at your own risk• And make sure the text contrasts w/ the BG
