Describe the text design guidelines and why they are important.

Question

What will be an ideal response?

Answer 1

Avoid using all capital letters as they are difficult to read and to some audiences this is considered yelling. The use of underline should be avoided as it is generally assumed that underlined text is a hyperlink on a slide. Although bold and italics can be used, using them sparingly will enable them to be used for emphasis so that the audience is able to determine what is most important. Be consistent in capitalization in title placeholders and punctuation in content placeholders. It is best practice to avoid leaving a single word hanging on a line of its own. Modify the placeholder size or press Shift+Enter to create a soft break so that more than one word is on a line.
