Designing Presentation Aids • Presentation aids should be as simple as possible.
Simplicity • Present one major idea per aid. • Use short phrases. • Minimize the number of words. • Use active verb form. • Remember the 8 x 8 rule: 8 words in a line and 8 lines on a slide.
Continuity • Continuity: apply the same design to all of your aids. • Colors, fonts, upper- and lowercase letters, and the use of symbols should be consistent.
Typeface Style and Font Size • Typeface: a specific style of lettering. • Serif • Sans serif • Fonts: different sizes and styles of typeface.
Typeface Style and Font Size • Make sure lettering is legible. • Use a typeface that has a style consistent with your own. • Use a font that is easy to read. • Avoid using only all-capital lettering.
Color • Color can stimulate the senses or create the wrong mood. • Colors have different cultural meanings.
Color • Use bold colors to emphasize important points. • Keep the background color constant. • For typeface and graphics, use contrast colors. • Use between two and four colors.
