Sample Text Slide Without a Photograph Bullet text slide sample with a photo Text is sentence cap – the first letter of the bullet point is capitalized, then only proper nouns are capped Periods are only used if a complete sentence Text is automatically aligned left with the title as shown
Photos and Animations Please use photos as desired, “a picture saves a thousand words.” Placement and size of photos and art depends on the amount of text on the page, and which is more important the words or the message from the photo. If you want to add animation “less is better” it should only be used to highlight an important idea. If everything is animated then nothing captures the attention. Use your own judgment – you know your audience – just keep this idea in mind.
