1. Keep them simple, clear and visual
2. Less is more – do not cram too many words on to your slides
3. Use key points, not long sentences
4. Follow the 6 x 6 rule – six words per key point, six key points per slide
5. Make sure the points are easy to read – font size at least 24
6. Dark text on light background is ideal
7. Steer clear of complex patterns or backgrounds
8. Take care with colours – mixing them up can make text hard to read.
9. Avoid sound effects – and flying graphics – and slow builds!
10. Use images – pictures and graphs add interest!!!
