Keep it to six lines or less –
this comes through practice
and so, take time to prepare
your presentation. Also,
knowing the content helps J
The Body: Do not give stories or make it a
teleprompter- it’s a presentation.

Use Single Images.
Image & Text Layout: Avoid placing two or
more images… one should speak for itself.

Use coloured backgrounds.
Image & Text Layout: If you cannot find the
right image, jazz up your presentation with
background colours. Please avoid those stock
images that come with all the presentations.
They suck L

Image & Text Layout: Use the right images to
convey your message (Obviously)

Beautiful birds near you.
The Marvelous Mandarin duck is out
every May – July. Keep watching.!

Create demand
Just because you think people want your product does not mean they will take your product.
Image & Text Layout: Use spacers to take a break or to pass a
key message. You can explain in the notes/handouts..

Use San Serif Font like this
one. It’s clear and much
easier to read J Yay Arial.
FYI: This is the Times, a serif
font. See how it bleeds.
Font & Colour: Avoid Serif Font, it bleeds into
each other making it hard to read.

Contrast: Maintain contrast between the text
and the background colours!
Font & Colour: If you are unable to get contrast naturally, use contract boxes between text
and image either partly once or twice (like this) or over the whole image.

Use variations of colour
coordination to keep to the
same theme. Otherwise, it
becomes very colourful!!
Use no more than five
colours…
Font & Colour issues

It’s great for emphasis and it
looks really nice coordinated
in line with message or
brand.!
Use contrasting TEXT to
draw attention.
