Design Principles for PowerPoint Presentations

Mastering the art of PowerPoint presentations involves essential design principles that enhance clarity and engagement. Use color strategically to direct attention, opting for solid backgrounds to maintain focus. Stick to one or two contrasting text colors per screen, ensuring consistency throughout the presentation. Limit text to 6-7 lines and emphasize simplicity in font choice and size (40-72 points for titles). Incorporate graphics that relate directly to content, and use transitions and effects sparingly to maintain audience interest. Aim for a balanced layout using the golden mean to guide placement.
