Slide LayoutSlide Layout

• A slide is easy to read when there is a minimum of information present. Every slide should contain a maximum of 8 (eight) lines of information and be big enough so that every person in the classroom can read the slide from where they are sitting. Too much information on slides can be distracting and overwhelming. Also, limiting the amount of information on the slide will keep the audience’s attention on you rather than them focusing on reading your slide. This way, you can make a great impression and showcase your brilliant presentation skills
