Pixels/Dots – The dots of color that make up your image.
Dpi/Ppi - dots per inch/pixels per inch.
Jpeg- Probably the most common and popular way of saving picture files because the files are smaller.
PowerPoint does not give the user an option to set the DPI
PP default setting:
.jpgs with a lower dpi and file size appear to have Jagged edges because information is missing.
96dpi (horizontal and vertical)
960x720
Dots-per-inch (dpi)Pixels

Examples

Find a balance between emphasis and distraction
Color color scheme Font – don’t lose your message due to blending
Dark on Light - or – Light on Dark
Backgrounds Patterns – don’t distract from the information negative space is just as important
Too Sparse vs. Too Cluttered
Simplicity & Legibility
Movement
Stand back & look at your slide. Notice the line of the text and the images. Where are your eyes moving?
A “Z” form is ideal for advertising with images and text. You want your customer to start at the top left corner and end in the bottom right corner.
If you notice something out of place or distracting then you need to rearrange a few items.
The path our eyes follow when looking at a design.
Feedback
Phone Numbers!!! BIG BIG BIG Logos (do not need realtor logos)
Keep inset from the edge Don’t overlap text and images
unless necessary.
