Fill up the screen with lots of small text which in fact you intend to read out word for word. People find it hard to listen to what is being said if they can read it at the same time. This is because
we can read faster than we can talk. So, please avoid doing this in your presentations. Also of course small text on a screen
is hard to read. There is nothing worse than being presented with a screen of too much information, the audience will feel
overwhelmed and confused.

Use key words
Use large fonts

Use visually complex
backgrounds

Use backgrounds that don’t compete
with the message.
