Tip:  If you can’t absorb what is on a visual in 3 to 8 seconds, and understand it, you have too much information on that visual.

Tip:  Stand back from your laptop, about 8ft. and read your visuals. If you can’t see it clearly then the back row of the audience can’t see it either.

• Keep it simple, don’t cram too much information on each slide.

• Use contrasting colors, they are easier on the eyes and don’t get looking blurry to an audience over a long series of presentations.

• Don’t use a white background, for presentation graphics that are being projected to an audience.

• White is great for print, but with today's more powerful projectors, it will fatigue the eyes of the audience after only a few minutes. In addition, a white background will make dark text appear blurry.
