8. PPT Tips 5 . Use colour well: If you will be presenting in a dark room (such as a large hall), then a dark background (dark blue, grey, etc.) with white or light text will work fine. But if you plan to keep most of the lights on (which is highly advisable) then a white background with black or dark text works much better. 6 . Choose your fonts well: Fonts communicate subtle messages in and of themselves, which is why you should choose fonts deliberately. Use the same font set throughout your entire slide presentation, and use no more than two complementary fonts (e.g., Arial and Arial Bold). Make sure you know the difference between a Serif font (e.g., Times New Roman) and a Sans-Serif font (Helvetica or Arial).  7 . Use video or audio: Use video and audio when appropriate. 8 . Spend time in the slide sorter: Don’t forget to save some time to spend on Slide Sorter. 8 BY Sonam Kshyap BY Sonam Kashyap
