don't distract from the content you want to share. • Avoid gradient colors in the background. • Use a font type and size that is easy to read

(no smaller than a 12 point standard font such as Arial, Verdana or Times New Roman).

• Use visuals whenever possible especially for complex processes or procedures.

• Avoid slide after slide of bulleted lists.
