Tips for creating an effective
presentation
1. Choose a font style that
your audience can read
from a distance.
• Choosing a simple font style, such as
Arial or Calibri, helps to get your
message across. Avoid very thin or
decorative fonts that might impair
readability, especially at small sizes.
2. Choose a font size that
your audience can read from
a distance.

template or theme that is not too
eye-catching. You don't want the
background or design to detract
from your message.
7. Use high contrast
between background color
and text color.
Themes automatically set the
contrast between a light
background with dark colored
text or dark background with
8. Check the spelling and
grammar.

respect of your audience,
always check the spelling
