The Power of visual aids.

Slide design principles

Keep it simple-

One key idea per slide

Keep bullet points 5-7 words

Consistency-

Consistent font types

consistent colour schemes

consistent type of visual aids- ie graphics or images

(pick one and stick to it unless a logical reason to break this rule)

Layout-

Keep uncluttered

Use blank space effectively

Use the rule of thirds

Ensure text alignment is used correctly

Avoiding Common Errors-

The errors i see most often are:

a lack of texture overall

Creating a presentation like its a script (THIS IS DUMB DONT DO THIS)

They mix images and graphics

And they use bullet points incorrectly

ANY and ALL of these result in a lower quality presentation.
