Powerpoint - Candy Analysis
Overall Design

Some things to remember about your design:

  • The backgrounds should be consistent throughout the presentation.
  • Don't use font colors that are too close to the background color. High contrast design works best like a dark background with light text or a light background with dark text.
  • If you use images in your background make sure they are appropriate for this presentation. For example, don't use a picture of someone skiing on this presentation unless you counted your M&Ms while on a ski trip!
  • Don't use more than 2 fonts per slide.
  • Titles should have a minimum font size of 36.
  • Bullet points should have a font size of at least 24.
  • Use bold, italicized or shadowed text or Word Art for emphasis.

Keeping all this in mind, go and set up the design for your presentation. How do you do this?

  • Use the Design Button to access standard templates and standard color schemes. These will automatically be applied to all of your slides. OR
  • Select Format>Background to customize your background the way that you would like. Make sure to apply this to all sides.

If you are still unsure how to format backgrounds, you can view a video tutorial on this at:

NOTE: There may be a commercial played before this video.

Do you have your overall design set up? Then, Save Your Presentation as Your Name - Candy and continue with the Title Slide.
