Slide content

slide-14
SLIDE 14

Text

With text, less is almost always more. One thing to avoid—slides with a lot of text, especially if it’s a repeat of what you’re saying out loud. It’s like if you give a paper handout in a meeting—everyone’s head goes down and they read, rather than staying heads-up and listening. If there are a lot of words on your slide, you’re asking your audience to split their attention between what they’re reading and what they’re

  • hearing. That’s really hard for a brain to do, and it compromises the effectiveness of both your slide text

and your spoken words. If you can’t avoid having text-y slides, try to progressively reveal text (like unveiling bullet points one by one) as you need it.

Less is more

Text

Make sure that ALL font is at least 18pt

14pt is probably too small

Images

Use photos to enhance your point

  • Simple photos relevant your concept
  • Metaphors are good
