Powerpoint Slide Design for the Court ....SIMPLE!

Avoid the temptation to dress up your pages with cheesy effects and focus instead on simple design basics.

The key design principles are:

• Use a simple background – decorative templates add clutter.
• Use a sans serif font such as arial or helvetica.
• Use text which contrasts well with the background.
• If you’re using photos have them fill the whole screen and put your text on top of them. If necessary use a semi-transparent rectangle – a mask – behind the text to ensure that it is readable.
