Graphic design tips for great-looking presentations

Choose a relevant colour scheme*
  • Use a maximum of 5 colours (less is even better)
  • Consider changing hue and saturation to add more depth
  • Use a colour scheme that fits your presentation topic*
Don’t fear negative space
  • Make your empty spaces part of your design
  • It helps in creating emphasis on elements
  • Too much positive space can be distracting
Use good quality visuals*
  • Entice your viewer by using quality, relevant visuals
  • Visuals should not pixellate, be stretched or warped
  • Download free stock footage from a variety of websites
Be consistent in your design theme
  • Consistency creates a sense of structure
  • It assists in improving the usability and learnability
  • People understand concepts quicker
Stick to two typefaces*
  • Use an interesting, relevant font for headings*
  • Use a sans serif, simple font for body copy
  • Type should be legible and large enough to view from afar
Limit your special effects
  • Stick to simple animations
  • Don’t overdo it with transitions but keep it simple
  • Special effects can distract your viewer from the message
