  Preparing Materials

  Text

  Maximize contrast: Light letters on a dark background are often more readable than dark letters on a light background, but black on white is still good.

  Font style: Use plain, clean typeface. Avoid decorative fonts and serifs.

  Letter spacing: Use mono-spaced fonts rather than proportional spaced fonts. Wider spacing is better than narrow..

  Line Spacing: At least 20 to 30 percent of the text point size. Set spacing at 1.5 works well.

  Numbers: Some numbers are easily misread. Use a clean typeface and consider writing the numerical word where feasible.

  Point Size: Large is better 16 to 22 is the best range.

  Special Text Formatting: Keep it simple. Limit use of italics, All caps, etc.

  Color: Avoid colored text where possible, consider the effect on contrast.

  Type weight: Use Bold or Semi-Bold text when possible. Do not use light type weights.

  Powerpoint
