SLIDE LAYOUT
• Avoid having too many words on each slide as people will
tend to read rather than listen. Use slides for key messages,
quotes, examples, simple diagrams/charts and images. Aim
to use one slide for every 1-2 minutes of talk.
• Use a maximum 10 lines of text per slide, and aim for five or
six lines where possible.
• Use size 32 to 36 font for headings and size 18 to 28 for the
body text.
• Choose a professional design and colours.
• Avoid using flashy graphics and distracting backgrounds; this
detracts from what you are saying.

According to Bleicher (2011), there are five main color schemes (and some
combinations and variants of these schemes) that allow designers to achieve harmony
in their designs:
Monochromatic Scheme
The monochromatic scheme is based on the colors created from different tints (created
by adding black or white to the original color), tones, and shades of one hue. In theory,
it’s the simplest of all the schemes. A monochromatic scheme is commonly used in
minimal designs because one hue should result in a less distracting layout.
On the other hand, this scheme means that you cannot use multiple colors to help with
visualizing information in the User Interface (UI). That is the only price of simplicity.
