PowerPoint Slide Suggestions

• Keep in mind how far away the audience is likely to be in large rooms.
• Try to keep text size at least 18 or 20 points for readability. If you can’t fit everything on a slide at that size, you should probably break it into two or more slides.
• Use high-contrast colors. Don’t use red, dark green or black text or graphics against darker backgrounds. Best colors are white, yellow, light green, and aqua (light blue).
• Make sure arrows and other connectors between graphics also have high contrast.
• Do not overdo animation on slides. If you have animation, try to keep the number of mouse clicks per slide to a minimum and practice with your slides the day before your session to be familiar with the interaction.
