Font Size There's a little more leeway for a virtual presentation since no one's at the back of the room in your audience...but still keep it pretty large. Rule of thumb: no smaller than size 28. |

Colors Keep a limited palette of coordinated colors. Avoid putting bright colors on top of each other. Red/blue is a notoriously hard-to-read combo. |

Images If you use an image in the background, make sure your text shows up clearly on it. Often this means adding a solid shape behind the text or fading/darkening the image. If you have a smaller image side-by-side with text, make sure your text doesn't run over into it. |

Limit Your Word Count You shouldn't have lots of text on your slides. Bullet points, not paragraphs. Lots of text is boring to look at! It takes up space for visuals, as well. Plus, your audience can read faster than you speak and will be reading ahead -- but will also be distracted by you talking. Lose-lost situation. |
