15. Fonts - Bad
If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written
CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ – “VISUAL SHOUTING”
Don’t use a complicated font

16. Fonts - Good Use at least an 28-point font(this is 24)
Use different size fonts for main points and secondary points
this font is 22-point, the main point font is 24-point, and the title font is 44-point; this is a “sans serif” font
Use a standard font like Times New Roman or Century.

20. Be careful with text.

21. Text - Bad
This page contains too many words for a presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the following slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

22. Text - Good Write in point form Have the most important points,
not every detail
Only what can be read quickly
The audience is mainly listening to you

23. What is the issue? (A)
A “good death” = an end to suffering, but are the means permissible?
Should a doctor cause death?
Should a patient request it?
Should others be allowed to decide?
Should it be legalized?
This slide has a lot to read, but it is manageable. Have
points animated to enter one at a time.

24. Use pictures creatively,
but cautiously.

25. Is there any middle ground?
A good picture
can make a point
effectively

and transitions
consistently.

28. Slide Animation - Bad Do not use distracting animation
Do not go overboard with the animation
Be consistent with the animation that you use

29. Slide Animation - Good
“Transitions” create the flow from slide to slide
“Fade” or other simple transitions are effective
“Animations” create the flow within a slide
Be consistent and simple
