Clarity – Avoid being fancy by using a font style that is easy to read. Make sure that it is also big
enough to be read by the audience. Once you start making your presentation, consider how big the
screen is during your report.
Tip: A font size of 72 is about an inch (depends on the screen size). A one-inch letter is
readable 10 feet away; a two-inch letter is readable 20 feet away.
Simplicity – Use bullets or short sentences. Summarize the information on the screen. Limit the
content to six lines and seven words per line. This is known as the 6 x 7 rule.
Use graphics to help in your presentation, but not too many to distract the audience. In addition,
instead of using a table of data, use charts and graphs.
Consistency – Make your design uniform. Avoid having different font styles and backgrounds.
Contrast – Use light font on a dark background or vice versa. This is done so that it is easier to
read. In most instances, it is easier to read on screen if the background is dark. This is due to the
brightness of the screen.

Create and print your business cards in Publisher
Business cards are traditionally the primary way that business people present their contact
information to other business people and potential customers or clients. Business cards provide a more
tangible way to impart information about who you are and what you do, making them one of the most
effective direct marketing tools. Having your business card ready to present to others when needed
demonstrates a higher level of professionalism.
