General PowerPoint Tips

Fonts

Avoid fonts that are difficult to read.
Use no font size smaller than 24 point.
Use different colors, sizes and styles (bold, underline) for impact.
No more than 6-8 words per line.
For bullet points, use the 6 x 6 Rule. One thought per line with  no more than 6 words per line and no more than 6 lines per slide.
Use dark text on light background or light text on dark background.
To test the font, stand back six feet from the monitor and see if you can read the slide.

Graphics and Design

Keep the background consistent and subtle.
Use only enough text when using charts or graphs to explain clearly label the graphic.
Keep the design clean and uncluttered.
Try to use the same style graphics throughout the presentation. (e.g. cartoon, photographs)
Limit the number of graphics on each slide.
 

Color

Limit the number of colors on a single screen.
Bright colors make small objects and thin lines stand out. However, some vibrant colors are difficult to read when projected.
Use no more than four colors on one chart.
