Example One
Low Contrast
This is hard to read as the words
and background blend in!
Example Two
Red and Green
These are the same if you are
colour blind!
Example Three
Black on White
Can cause glare, eyestrain and
headaches
Example Four
High contrast without a glare.

Even with well chosen colours, overcrowding
can distort the message!
And word art can be difficult to read (see
below)
Example Four
• This is font 12 Arial. The heading is 14. While these work when reading from the screen,
they will be difficult to read from the back of a lecture hall.
•This is Font 24. Much easier to read at a
distance.
Bullet Points
• It is good to have six bullet points maximum per slide.
•When you use more than this your page will become
clustered.
•It will no longer be well spaced out,
•It will be difficult to read,
•It will look wordy, and the font size will shrink
•And will be off putting to read.
•Consider that this page is clustered with only seven
bullet points!
