Additional PowerPoint Tips
Published Wednesday, October 19, 2005 by Paul Clifford | E-mail this post

I got this comment via email and thought I'd share it: I ENJOY THE SHOW , IT'S A GREAT CHRISTIAN TECH SHOW ONE BIG PRESENTATION TIP THAT MANY PEOPLE SEEM TO FORGET IS THE USE OF THE PROPER FONT. SAN SERIF FONTS ("ARIAL" FOR EXAMPLE) ARE BEST FOR THE USE IN PROJECTED SOURCES. THESE FONTS ARE DISPLAYED WITH A EVEN THICKNESS THOUGHOUT THE TEXT WHERE AS SERIF FONTS ("TIMES" FOR EXAMPLE) ARE BEST FOR THE USE IN PRINTED MATERIAL. THESE FONTS ARE DISPLAYED WITH AN UNEVEN THICKNESS THOUGHOUT THE TEXT. -- Daniel Hook Thanks Daniel. I was going to save that tip for a future show as it was my longest show so far w/o adding anymore. In addition, I'll add a word of caution about using fonts that seem "cool". The primary use of a font is to be readable, second is design. The best designed slide in the world that isn't legible is useless. Don't always default to Arial (as I tend to). There should be thought given to the best font for communication, but most times that's a sanserif like Arial. Paul
