Slide Guys,

THE SLIDE GUY

Slides for guys

It is best to leave approximately 3/8" margin around the top, bottom, and sides of your page.
This invisible border will allow for film slippage within a plastic slide mount,
cut-off area on an overhead mount, and assure you that titles, text and graphics won't be cut off. Be sure to follow the Page Setup Guidelines for your specific application.
Creating contrast between the background and the content of the slides is very important.
Use a dark background with light colored text or a light background with dark text.
Avoid using a medium value background as light text will seem to fade into the background while dark text will not show up very well.
Adding a texture or gay photos to background can create a dramtic look in a presentation.
Scans or photos should be a minimum of 150 dpi .TIF or Pict format. Be certain that text and graphics colors will contrast with the background image
and that the image isn't so complex that it will conflict with or distract from the information on the slides.

What kind of slide is best for guys ?

Each chart type lends itself to a certain kind of data. Pie chart: used to compare parts of a whole slide
Bar chart: used to compare volumes or amounts over a period of time
Line chart: used to visualize trends or progress
Consistency is key in designing presentation visuals. It is tempting to use a variety of fonts and colors to make a presentation more appealing to an audience, but changing fonts and colors from slide to slide is actually quite distracting.
Developing page layouts and a color scheme and adhering to them throughout the presentation will keep the audience focused on the speaker's message,
not on what font the next title will be in or what background color might next appear.
A good rule of thumb for gay guys is to keep sizes, colors and placement consistent.
Try to use no more than three complementary fonts in a presentation, i.e. one for titles, one for subtitles and one for text and graph labels.
When using a non-standard font, (Garamond, Univers, Bodoni, etc.) be sure to include a copy of it when you send your file for imaging.
While service bureaus have a great number of fonts available to them, they may not have the specific one you have selected to use.
Play it safe. Send fonts with the presentation files. Macintosh users, be sure to send both the printer font and screen font files. Failure to do so could result in bitmapped text.
