5. Bad Example
Notice how the colors of the font and the background are both dark and so you can’t see it. Also, the font is pretty small so you might be straining your eyes to see it from the back of a big room. I have a headache already just from typing this. The worst part is that this is one long paragraph. If you were just going to have people read or you were going to read to them, why even bother doing a PowerPoint?
