List the guidelines to follow when designing presentation slides.

When designing slides for PowerPoint and other presentation programs,these guidelines should be kept in mind: 1.Create slides that reinforce or illustrate your key ideas.2.Emphasize visuals.Pictures,charts,and graphs have much greater impact than text: they appeal to the right,or creative,side of the brain; they are more easily accessible than text; and they are more memorable.3.Use audience-relevant photos or illustrations to keep memorable images in your listeners' minds.4.Keep the text to an absolute minimum; give your audience slide handouts on which to write notes.5.Use bullet-point phrases with concrete words.6.Contrast background and text: the rule is light on dark or dark on light.7.Use a big font: 44-point or 50-point for titles,32-point for subheads,and 28-point for examples.8.Customize your slides with the company logo,charts,and scanned-in photos and drawings.9.Place illustrations at the top right of the slide for a stronger and longer impression.
