Fonts and Colors are often overlooked aspects of a well designed and effective online PowerPoint presentation. Easy-to-read fonts and solid, well-contrasted colors allow your audience to quickly read your presentation, and focus on your message, rather than your online PowerPoint presentation’s design.

Online PowerPoint Presentation Colors

• Limit the number of colors on a single screen to a minimum.
• Bright colors make small objects and thin lines stand out.  However, some vibrant colors are difficult to read when projected, particularly when contrasted against a similarly colored background.
• Use no more than four colors on any single chart.
• Check the colors of your online PowerPoint presentation on variety of screens. Your online presentation may look drastically different on various monitors, so you need to make sure your design works for the majority of them.

Online PowerPoint Presentation Fonts

• Use sans-serif fonts such as Arial or Helvetica.  Avoid serif fonts such as Times New Roman or Palatino as they are sometimes more difficult to read.
• Use no font size smaller than 24 point. Your online PowerPoint presentation will be viewed on monitors of different sizes. You need to make sure that your text is legible for the majority of them.
• Use clear headlines.  Use a larger font (35-45 points) or different color for the headline.
• Use a single sans-serif font throughout the online presentation.  Use different colors, sizes and styles (bold, underline) only for impact.
• Try to avoid italics as they may be difficult to read.
• Do not use all caps except for titles.
