Good Word Amount

Bad Word AmountIf you put to many words on a slide it becomes distracting and hard for people to read. Also people don’t know what information is important and what is not if there is a lot of words on the page. It makes it frustrating as well because people are trying to read all the words while you are speaking. It can also make it really boring. Plus you don’t want to just read off of the slide because people will fall asleep.

Good Background

Simple and doesn’t distract or take away from what is written on the

slide.
