5 Layout Some guidelines for the layout The layout should contain some basic elements as Section title Slide title Slide counter Optional elements include Presentation title and date Structural elements as sub-section title and highlighting Logo... But these elements should not take too much space I.e. main part ( 80%) is reserved for the slide content Presentation Slides 5 / 17

6 Layout Some guidelines for the font Type: Neutral and easy to read, not something like that Size: Suciently large (e.g. 18pt for main text) Avoid using only capital letters Presentation Slides 6 / 17

7 Layout Some guidelines for the color scheme Appropriate contrast between text and background Dark/light background and light/dark font color This may depend on the presentation room If not sure use light background No "aggressive" color combinations, e.g. red and blue Few main colors, no "rainbow" color scheme Select few basic colors and use their hues if you need more Using same color scheme for layout and graphics is best Plain background is in most cases the best choice Presentation Slides 7 / 17

8 Layout Bad layout example "Aggressive" color combination red and blue Dicult to read Presentation Slides 8 / 17

12 Slide Elements Figures Some guidelines Captions and/or numbering (optional) Appropriate gure resolution All relevant details should be recognizable Consistent size and/or placement (alignment) If multiple gures on same slide No not relevant details E.g. if using screenshots only relevant area should be included Add image source Below the gure or on a separate reference slide Presentation Slides 12 / 17

15 Introduction Examples Other Slide Elements Figures When to use gures To show how an object looks like Presentation Slides If a work ow can be illustrated by a gure If a keyword/method can be replaced by a gure If results can be illustrated as graphs 13 / 17

16 Slide Elements Tables Some guidelines Captions and/or numbering Structure the table by using rules and font formats E.g. header, row blocks, column blocks Especially in large tables Highlight important data by font format or color Exclude not relevant information More space for important data Consistent alignment within the cells Presentation Slides 14 / 17
