small tail thickness
FONTS
FONT SIZE
N>200 42/36
50<N<200 36/28
N<50 32/24
But larger font size regardless of the size of the
room
Best: 50/40
Here: 36/20
Word must be readable from 10 feet away!
RULE OF SIX
Max: 6 lines per slide
Max: 6 words pre line
Always fewer words are always better!
Words are just to emphasize a point that you
can expand on!
MORE WORDS
Audience become disinterested and focus attention away
Audience may read instead of listening
Never put down your fear for audience about : “get it?”
by words!
The greatest multitasker can’t read and listen at the
same time!
Retroactive Inhibition

comprehension!
Eye recognizes letters by the shape of the upper half
Top half of lowercase letters are more distinctive
(stand out against the with background)

Limit to a maximum of 4!
Be consistent with color choice
COLOR

The least contrast by a pair of secondary colors
COLOR DISTINGUISHING
Text colors should be distinguishable from the
color of background:
White or pale text: dark background
Black or Blue text: lighter background
Avoid red and green! Can be difficult to see for
individuals
Yellow with black lettering is the most readable
