Guideline: What makes a good PowerPoint presentation?

• Design and Graphical Images

• Use design templates. • Standardize position, colors, and styles. • Include only necessary information. • Limit the information to essentials. • Content should be self-evident. • Use colors that contrast and compliment. • Too many slides can lose your audience. • Keep the background consistent and subtle.
