How good are my Slides? Evaluate using this Slide Design Checklist

You have prepared your slides. But you are unsure if your slides are really good. What if you had a checklist through which you could run your slides. Here is one checklist.

Your slides are good if your response is YES to all the items on this checklist.

• I have not used bullet points
• I have prepared a slide (with few words) and not a report (with lots of words)
• My photos are not hazy (pixellated)
• I have not used cliched images and WordArt
• I have not distorted the image while enlarging it
• My fonts are legible. I have not used fonts below size 18
• My charts are simple and easy to understand
• I have not used 3-D charts
• I have not used boring fonts like Arial, Calibri or Garamond
• I have used a sans-serif font. I have not used a serif font
• I have not used fancy fonts
