Use a set of font and color scheme.
Different styles are disconcerting to the
audience
You want the audience to focus on what
you present, not the way you present.
Use the same Background on each slide.

Blue: calming and conservative
Green: stimulates interaction and puts people at ease
Red: Handle with care in presentations
Purple: represents wisdom and spirituality

Black: connotes finality and gives the impression of
starting fresh
pure, fresh and clean but a little boring
Grey: a conservative color; good when Black or White
won’t work

47. Colors
Reds and oranges are high-energy but can
be difficult to stay focused on.
Greens, blues, and browns are mellower,
but not as attention grabbing.
Reds and Greens can be difficult to see for
those who are color blind.

54. Illustrations
Use only when needed, otherwise they
become distracters instead of
communicators.
They should relate to the message and help
make a point.
Simple diagrams are great communicators.
57. Bullets
Keep each bullet to 1 line, 2 at the most.
Limit the number of bullets in a screen to
6, 4 if there is a large title, logo, picture,
etc.
58. If you crowd too much text, the
audience won’t read it.

59. Butterfly Life Cycle
The life cycle of a butterfly is truly
amazing. Butterflies have four life stages,
the egg, the larva (caterpillar), the
pupa (chrysalis), and the adult
butterfly. Each of the four stages are very
unique to individual species of butterflies
which is part of what makes watching and
raising butterflies so much fun.
