5 Principles of Presentation Design-18

The document outlines 5 basic principles of presentation design: 1) Keep slides simple with 1 main idea per slide and minimize text. 2) Use a minimum font size of 14pt that is legible and suited to the context. Limit fonts to a maximum of 3 colors. 3) Limit use of animation and only use it if it serves a purpose rather than overusing animated elements. 4) Use white space for balance, emphasis and readability. 5) Develop a consistent slide master for formatting across slides.

THE 5 BASIC PRINCIPLES OF

Presentation
Design
2

01

Simple
3

Don’t put all your talking points on


the slide. It gets too crowded.
4

Keep it to the highlights,


showcasing 1 main idea
at a time.
5

Try to condense it as
much as possible.
6

02

Fonts
7

To start with, use a font size


of 14pt and above.
8

Expect the people at the back of the


room to see your content clearly.
9

Pick a font type that’s legible


and suited to the context of
the presentation.

As a rule of thumb, use a maximum of


3 colors. This helps with consistency.

Examples of Color Scheme

14

Use complementary colors that work


well together. Colors play an important
part in design.
15

Whether it’s fonts, background or


images, colors mean something to us all.
Use the right combination to trigger the
right emotions.
16

04

Animation
17

Unless there’s a point


to it, just don’t use it.
18

More often than not,


people tend to overuse
this for every single slide.
19

If that’s you, please stop. Bouncing fonts


or swiping images should stay in the 90s.
20

05

White Space
21

Taking a page out of


the minimal playbook.
22

I like to use white space for


a variety of things.
23

Use white space for balance,


emphasis and just for
breathing room.
