General Best Practices

Accessibility First

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

Purposeful Imagery

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

Test Your Slides

Consider how backgrounds will appear on different projectors and screens.

Content Priority

Less is more-busy backgrounds distract from your content.
