Font Sizes
This is an example for a really \tiny text.
\scriptsize may be too small for a presentation.
\footnotesize should be the minimum font size.
\small is slightly smaller than the default.
\normalsize is the usual default font size.
\large is obviously pretty large.
\Large is even larger!
If it is still not large enough, use \LARGE

Font Sizes
It is also possible to start a font size environment:
This entire paragraph is contained in a \scriptsize environment.
This paragraph on the other hand is contained in a \large
environment.
And this one is contained in a \tiny environment and nicely demonstrates that this font size is way too small for the audience!!
Also note: too many dierent font sizes on one slide are distracting!

The rst example is an in-line formula: x = a + b. The next formula is
slightly more complicated and therefore out-of-line:
|v| =
_
v

f (x) dx =

You can even number the equations in an equation array:
x = a + b (1)
y = a b
z = a b (2)
\begin{frame}[fragile]\frametitle{Mathematical Formula}
\begin{block}{Formula Environments}
The first example is an in-line formula: $x = a + b$. The next formula
is slightly more complicated and therefore out-of-line:
$$ |\vec{v}| = \sqrt{v_0^2 + v_1^2 + \cdots + v_n^2} $$
For a more sophisticated formula the \verb|math| environment is used:
\begin{center}
\begin{math}
\sum_{n=0}^N g_n(x) = \sum\nolimits_{n=0}^N g_n(x)
= \int_a^b f(x) \,\mbox{d}x
= \int\limits_a^b f(x) \,\mbox{d}x
= \oint_c^d F(z) \,\mbox{d}z
\end{math}
\end{center}
You can even number the equations in an equation array:
\begin{eqnarray}
x & = & a + b \\
y & = & a - b \nonumber \\
z & = & a \cdot b
\end{eqnarray}

Rule #1
Make sure your audience can see what you want them to see!
This in turn means making sure that
There is good color contrast
Colors are wisely used to highlight a specic detail
The font you use is large enough
Everything is readable from every possible distance
There is not much information on any one slide
Rule #2
Make sure that your audience understands exactly what you want them to
see and consider!
This in turn means making sure that
All diagrams, pictures, tables, and formulas are clearly labeled
All diagrams are scaled to make important distinctions clear
No diagrams, pictures, or tables contain information which is not
relevant to the point you wish to make
Every slide has a distinct purpose
Rule #3
Make sure you stay within the bounds of your given time!
Prepare an appropriate number of slides (rule of thumb: minutes/3)
Select the most important details that t into the time frame
Practice the presentation at least once
Rule #4
Use as little text as possible. Use key world and NOT whole sentences!
A presentation is NOT a handout/report
Avoid text heavy slides
Pick the most important information and explain it to the audience
Rule #5
Do not overcrowd your slides with information!
Rule #6
Use a spell checker to nalize your presentation (ispell, e.g.)!
