• Choose a design format for your presentation, and lay out each slide

There are plenty of options for slide layout under the “Design” tab, or when you create a new presentation. You may use the same layout for all applicable movements, or change layouts between each movement to suit that movement. Consider these tips:

• • Don’t overlap text on an image if it’s too difficult to read (usually the case). Use a more solid background and choose a contrasting text color.
  • Include at least one relevant image per slide so they aren’t too text-heavy (except title slide).
  • Consider the composition of every slide. Arrange the space in an appealing, easy-to-navigate way.
  • You may use Animations, but it is not a requirement.
  • Sometimes, simplicity is best!
