Presentation Transcript

  1. Sample Slide – Font Size This slide can be used as a template. It includes all elements needed to create a PowerPoint presentation suitable for use in a video presentation. This font is Arial 32, white with a black drop shadow. 28 point fonts are acceptable. 24 point are marginal…18 point will probably not be legible.

  2. Sample Slide – Font Style • Generally it is best to use block-style fonts such as this Arial font, Tahoma, or even Comic Sans MS font. • Avoid “sans-serif” fonts, ones with small details, suchas Times New Roman,Broadway, Goudy Old Style…. • Definitely avoid Script fonts, or unusual fonts.

  3. Sample Slide – Text Guidelines • Avoid trying to place too much information on one slide • Avoid long sentences. Generally, 6 words per line (30 characters) • Not more than 8 - 10 lines per slide • Use upper and lower case • Avoid abbreviations

  4. Backgrounds Light fonts on dark backgrounds are best suited for PowerPoint presentations for video application. The previous solid blue background is good, or this ramped black-to-blue background is suitable. Don’t use red as a font color, often it doesn’t show up very well…if at all.

  5. The “Squint” Test When determining if your fonts will be legible in video format, squint at your slide. If you have trouble reading it while squinting, your audience will have trouble reading it in video format. That’s why it’s recommended you don’t use red as a font color, or use fonts smaller than 28 point - this is 24 point, notice it’s hard to read while squinting - and 18 point fonts are practically illegible.

  8. Sample Slide - Logo If you would like to include an M. D. Anderson logo, this logo is a good one to use. The white text on a dark background makes it easy to read.
