Digital presentations are infamous for their terrible typography . But I blame those who create the default templates for these programs . The qualities that make these layouts cheerful and attractive on your laptop often make them intolerable to an audience .
Why is that ? When you ’ re writing your presentation , you ’ re probably sitting in a well - lit space , looking at your slides on a relatively small screen . In that context , slides with bright backgrounds and large type are fine . Your audience , however , will likely be in a dim room , viewing the slides at a much larger size . To them , the bright backgrounds and large type will be as pleasant as staring into a flashlight .
This insight yields a simple tip that will improve any presentation: choose typography for your presentation based on the size and lighting conditions where it will be displayed .
