Slide Design - Faculty Workshop: Design Recommendations

1. Keep it simple (one idea per slide)
2. Limit bulletpoints and text (maintain white space)
3. Limit transitions and animation
4. Use high-quality graphics (most clip art does not qualify)
   
5. Have a visual theme

and above all, consider your audience

More presentation tips from Garr Reynolds

• Listening and reading are conflicting activities. Listening and viewing go together naturally.

• The audience should be able to process each slide's message within three seconds.

• Take time to translate ideas into images.
