Slide Fix, Lesson 3

Lesson 3:

Font choices not only affect readability, but credibility. When presenting scientific or business data, the choice of font can dramatically increase or decrease your credibility as a presenter and choosing the wrong font will make it harder for the audience to retain your message.

Limit the use of “kitschy” effects and type treatments. Multi-colors, excessive shadowing, and even italics should be used sparingly. Effects should only “add” value and slides should be a visual aid to the speaker, not a distraction to the audience.

Carefully choose a single, memorable image for a title page to represent your theme.
