Design Effective Slides

A slide is a visual helper, not a script. Your audience listens to you and glances at the slide for support. If a slide is crammed with paragraphs, mixed fonts, and clashing colors, the audience reads instead of listening — and the message gets lost. Effective slides keep the spotlight on you.

2Match each slide element to the purpose it serves for the audience
