Repetition

Repetition aids the flow of your presentation. For example, having the same background on each slide or a small picture on the bottom of the corner of each slide.

AlignmentAligning allows for the viewer to understand the content rather than having it jumbled in different areas of the slide. This also allows for the presentation to look more appealing.

ProximityGrouping is a natural for most. Proximity within your presentation helps the viewer understand what content belongs with what picture or what story belongs with what title.

Two FontsTwo fonts to use in a presentation are serif and san serif fonts. When using a serif font, the presenter typically uses it for titles. On the other hand, the content that follows the title should be written in san serif font due to the more formal look verses serif which is curvy and can appear to be more fancy.
