Color and Graphics
Key Principles:
- Keep color themes consistent
- Use a maximum of 3-6 colors per slide
- Backgrounds should be neutral pastels
- Ensure significant contrast between text and background
- Use brights colors for most important information
- Pictures/graphics should supply redundant information with text
- Don't use graphics for "cuteness" only - they can distract from content
