Colors and Fonts Use black or another dark color Maximize the contrast with the white background Use the Calibri/Arial fonts Use as large a font as possible Main text lines: 32 point Secondary lines: 28 point Smallest text lines: 24 point Anything below 24 is too small (e.g. 20 point) Caution: Yellow, gray, pink, or light blue lettering and lines may look nice on the monitor but become unreadable when projected Make sure the fonts, labels etc. are readable It is a good practice to add one sentence(1-2 lines) summary statement at the bottom of each such slide for these who may not hear your verbal comments 6
General Guidelines Keep concepts as simple as possible Limit each page to one main idea. Avoid line breaks The audience should focus on you not on reading long text lines Use no more than 30 words per page Use no more than 6 lines of text per page Use several simple figures rather than one complex one Make duplicate copies of a page if you plan to refer to it later Do not switch back and forth during your presentation Do not plan to go back to a slide Projection computer will not be connected to the sound system hence its recommended not to use sound effects 7
Graphs and Figures Simple line drawings are often best Make all lines sufficiently thick Use dark colors to give high contrast to the background Dotted, dashed, or other specialty lines should be bold and thick Make fonts embedded in figures > 24 point Make sure figures also use Calibri or a similar font Avoid serif fonts like Times New Roman These fonts are good for printed material but not on screens Imported graphs may have small fonts and thin lines Fix this in the source program 8
