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.
