Tips for Creating your PowerPoint

Body Text:

Use a font that is easy to read. Arial, Verdana, or Calibri tend to be the easiest to read on screens
Font should be no smaller than 18pt. Align text left. Centered text is harder to read
Write in point form, not complete sentences
Include 4-5 bullet points per slide
Avoid wordiness and clutter: A headline, a few bullet points, maybe an image – anything more than that and you risk losing your audience

Headings:

Heading font should be bigger than your body text

Colour:

Put dark text on a white background. This is easiest to read. If you must use a dark background – for instance, if your company uses a standard template with a dark background – make sure your text is quite light (white, cream, or light grey) and increase the font size

Images, Charts and Diagrams:
A chart, diagram or image can often convey much more to your audience than text
Don’t use low resolutions images as these can appear blurry on the screen
Slide Timing:

Use 1-2 slides per minute of your presentation
