5 Tips for an Engaging Slideshow

1. Make your text concise: Slides with multiple paragraphs are distracting. Your audience will get distracted by reading the slide that they will not be able to hear you speak. Break up your words into different slides. Use easy to read fonts and suiting to the text. 

2. Use color that contrasts

3. Use images and infographics

4. Use audio and video to supplement your text.
