Tip 4: Use a simple color palate to guide the reader’s eye where you want it to go.

I felt that the image in the last example had too much green in it and, since green didn’t show up anywhere else in the slide, it draws a LOT of attention away from the text and over to the left side of the page. I decided to replace it with a photo that more closely matched the color palate of the text to try and create a unified look that was calming, but interesting, clear, and easy to read.

Bonus tip 4A: Don’t use too many different fonts and stay away from “design” fonts

I did some slight font adjustments that made this slide seem much more professional. I’m going to write more about fonts in a later post, so just take a look and see if you can see the difference yourself!
