Use the right font style Remember you can emphasise important statements or words with bold, italic, capital letters, larger fonts, different styles or different colours.

Using colours & backgrounds Use the same colour consistently Use light letters on a dark background Use dark letters on a light background Certain colours not to be used together

And finally... Use images to help convey message Experiment with SmartArt Instead of tables – see if a chart/graph will make the data easier to understand Check your spelling!

Your slides are NOT your presentation Your slides are a focus for your presentation Purpose is to focus interest on what you think is important
