Use Design Elements Consistently

Printed Page 162

Apply the same design decisions you make for one presentation aid to all of the aids you display in a speech. Doing so will ensure that viewers don’t become distracted by a jumble of unrelated visual elements. Carry your choice of any key design elements—color, fonts, upper- and lowercase letters, styling (boldface, underlining, italics), general page layout, and repeating elements such as titles and logos—through to each aid.
