The Dreaded PowerPoint.

Powerpoints are primarily used for presentations.
Use the text as support NOT as your speech card.
If you’re creating this to be printed and read – then by all means, type away.

Tip 1. Don’t make me read.
Make your heading the key message.
This is a little trick we designers use all the time.
Find a colour in your image and use it!
That way, you always look “matchy-matchy”.

Tip 2. Pop a colour or 2.
One strong image is better than 100 lame ones.
But yes – those tacos with avocadoes on the right were delish!

Tip 3. Loose the junk.

We’ve used Calibri and Constantia for this Powerpoint.
We are fun with pictures and words, but our style is still professional and savvy.

Tip 4. Fonts speak.
