Guide to a successful PowerPoint design – simple is best Use the template wisely, make design amends that help your communication, do not alter the core design of the slide. Use only one key message per slide. If you have more than one message, use more slides. Some argue the target number of words on a slide should be 6. Limit the amount of text on each slide, and include copy in your notes. Maintain a consistent design throughout - colours, fonts, graphics and images.
