#1UNDERSTAND YOUR PURPOSE

READ/REVIEWED HYBRIDPRESENT

There are three main purpose for designing a presentation slide. The most common one is for presentation purpose. !But many people also create a presentation to be read/reviewed by other people. And there’s also a little bit of both.

If you are presenting it, then keep your message as simple as possible, so you could talk freely to your audience.

If it meant to be read/reviewed, then you should focus to design it like a magazine that you would enjoy reading.

The key is to have your idea/message flowing as if you’re storytelling. But it’s still simple and clutter-free in design.

Remember, if you are presenting, do not read your slides. That’s why simplifying your message is important for your audience to get the idea. !Keep one main idea for each slide. And, keep it simple (like tweeting).

#4TAKE TYPOGRAPHY SERIOUSLY

Seriously. This is an element that could differentiate good and bad slide design. Think about it carefully; its size, its thickness, its alignment, its position, its color, and many more. !Use only 2 - 3 fonts for your presentation.
