Print Layout Color

Preparing Presentation Aids

Preparing Presentations Aids

Limit the reading required of the audience. The audience should not spend a long time reading the visual aid; you want them listening to you. Limit the total number of lines on an aid to six or fewer, and write points as short phrases rather than complete sentences. There should be as little text on the screen as possible to communicate the ideas.

Layout

Six lines of text Six words across Write as phrases Do not use sentences

Simplify: The Rule of Six

Keep the typeface easy to read Use Upper and Lowercase letters

Keep the typeface easy to read Use Upper and Lowercase letters ALL UPPERCASE IS HARD TO READ

Print
