Here are a few PowerPoint guidelines I would like you to follow.
- Background. Keep the background simple. Don't try to make it too complex. It is there to highlight your text, not distract from it. It doesn't count as one of your pictures.
- Fonts. Use easy-to-read fonts that stay consistent throughout your presentation. Some of the fancier fonts are difficult to read and are distracting.
- Colors. Make sure the color of your font contrasts with your background so that it is easy to read.
- Pictures. When copying pictures from the Internet, be sure to copy the full-sized image, not the thumbnail. Thumbnails have lower resolution and get blurry and pixilated when you resize them.
- Resizing. When you resize images, only stretch from the corners. This will prevent you from skewing your image. Never drag from the sides or bottom. If you need to change the shape of your picture, use the cropping tool.
- Transitions. If you choose to insert transitions, keep them simple. Flying, looping text is obnoxious, and it detracts from the content of your presentation.
