Use a font and large size letters that are easy to read from the back of the room. Make sure you have adequate color contrast. Lettering should be 1 ½ inches in height and/or 125 point text or larger Leave at least an inch between lines of text and an inch between each word Use bullet points to guide eye movement toward key points. • • Lettering should be at least 24 size font Keep text to a minimum. Use photographs and graphics that support the message of each slide. Avoid using pictures as backgrounds for slides
