Text crisp, brief, pithy, crystal clear
Do not be wordy or verbose
Don't overdo
A solid background with contrasting text and a logo in the corner works best
Make one key point per slide
Six Bullets
Have no more than six major bullets per slide,
Capitalize
Use Sentence case
Left justify all text

10. Text Size Picturize Mix it up; Animate Bullets are not sentences;
Phrases; omit periods and needless words 
Text Size
Minimum 24 points for bullets (28 or 32, if possible)
36 points for the title 
Picturize
A picture really is worth a thousand words
Mix it up;
a graph here, a picture there, a quote, whatever
Animate
Animation's a nice touch, but don't go nuts with it; it can be distracting
