Rule of Six

6/6 No more than six words No more than six words No more than six words No more than six words No more than six words No more than six words

Slide Structure - Bad • This page contains too many words for a

presentation slide. It is not written in point form, making it difficult both for your audience to read and for you to present each point. Although there are exactly the same number of points on this slide as the previous slide, it looks much more complicated. In short, your audience will spend too much time trying to read this paragraph instead of listening to you.

Fonts - Bad

• If you use a small font, your audience won’t be able to read what you have written

• CAPITALIZE ONLY WHEN NECESSARY. IT IS DIFFICULT TO READ

• Don’t use a complicated font

Be Consistent 1. Title a. Point1 b. Point 02 c. Point 3

B. Title 2 i. Point 1 ii. Point 2 iii. Point 3

2. TITLE i. Point 1 ii. Point 02 iii. Point 3

A. Title 1 i. Point 1 ii. Point 2 iii. Point 3

Inconsistent font 1. Larger customer Base

2. Higher income ratio

3. Greater accessibility

4. Easier to get financed

5. Flexible rules

Color - Bad • Using a font colour that does not contrast

with the background colour is hard to read • Using colour for decoration is distracting and

annoying. • Using a different colour for each point is

unnecessary – Using a different colour for secondary points is

also unnecessary • Trying to be creative can also be bad

Background – Bad • Avoid backgrounds that are distracting or

difficult to read from • Always be consistent with the background

that you use
