BULLET LISTS…
Should be “short and sweet”Why?The key points of your argument can be lost in the
jumble otherwise.Your audience will be reading the slides instead of
listening to you otherwise.So your slides are not cluttered

BASIC DESIGN TIPS
Simple usually better.“Less is more.” Don’t just ‘say it,’ “SHOW IT!”“A picture can say 1000 words.” Maintain consistent fonts and colors.Through SlideMaster and/or Themes Content first; then formatFocus on your message!
GRAPHIC TIPS
Keep # of images to a minimumIt’s about design, not decoration. Photographs are usually more effective than
illustrations.In 10/13 you can remove the background to make the photo
less “blocky”.Make the photo “fall off” the page for added visual interest
and dynamism. (shift + F5 to view!)Pick photos of people wearing the emotion you want to
evoke.
