General Best Practices

1

Accessibility First

Ensure 4.5:1 contrast ratio between text and background for readability.

2

Purposeful Imagery

Use imagery that supports your message, never as decoration alone.

3

Test Your Slides

Consider how backgrounds will appear on different projectors and screens.

4

Content Priority

Less is more-busy backgrounds distract from your content.
