Poor Slide Structure
• This page contains too many words for a
presentation slide. It is not written in point
form, making it difficult both for your
audience to read and for you to present each
point. Although there are exactly the same
number of points on this slide as the previous
slide, it looks much more complicated. In
short, your audience will spend too much time
trying to read this paragraph instead of
listening to you.

Colour
• Use a colour font that contrasts sharply with
the background
– Example: black font on white background

Poor Use of Colour
• Using a font colour that does not contrast with
the background colour is hard to read
• Using colour for decoration is distracting and
annoying.
• Using a different colour for each point is
unnecessary
– Using a different colour for secondary points is
also unnecessary
• Trying to be creative can also be bad
Background
• Use backgrounds simple

Poor Background

difficult to read from
• Always be consistent with the background
that you use
