7. Be Visual

  • The impact of visuals is greatly increased by colour IF it is used well.
  • Ensure there is a clear contrast between text and background colour.
  • Use a highlight colour to emphasis key words.
  • Don’t use too many colours on one slide.
  • Use colours that harmonise rather than clash. Bright shades can look harsh when projected.
  • If you’re not sure how to put colours together, make use of the colour schemes available in PowerPoint.
