• Suggested Core Slide Deck: 15 to 30 Slides
  • Typical Deck Variations: 2 min.(5 slides), 5 min.(10 slides), 10 to 20 min.(15 to 30 slides)
  • Keep slides clean, no clutter: ~1-5 bullets/slide, ~5 -10 words/bullet & big clear images
  • Show, Don't Tell: Don't be cocky/braggy/arrogant, just show amazing/incredible results!
  • Show "super simple" images, graphics and diagrams (that need little to no explanation)
  • Key Takeaways: Concisely summarize main points at the top or bottom of slides.
  • Deck Should be Simple and Understandable without a presenter to explain it.
  • Check for typos, math errors or internal inconsistencies (#widgets on slide A vs. slide B)
  • Consistent Formatting: Caps vs. lowercase, colors, font type, font size, spacing, etc.
  • Font Type: Arial (No odd looking letters = Easy to read)
  • Don't Use "-" as Bullets: They look negative, use other styled bullets
  • Add Page Numbers (Botom right of page)
  • Backgrounds: Dark backgrounds with light text colors project well, but use lots of printer ink to print. You can also use white/light backgrounds with black/dark color font.
