Readability

Consistency
Readability
Keep your words large enough---at least size 24.
Limit the number of words on a page: Avoid paragraphs Use bullet points Use succinct phrases instead of sentences Limit each slide to six bullet points
Visual Clarity
Limit your graphics to 1-3 per page. Too many graphics can be distracting.
Slides are designed to supplement your presentation, not to be your presentation.
Basic rule of presentations Avoid unnecessary “bells and whistles”
Consistency
Fill out a storyboard before you begin to put your presentation together.
It will help you stay organized, and things will get done faster.
Proofread and spell check!
