Projectors are notoriously learn to have lower contrast and brightness opposed to your daily LCD/CRT displays.Thereby,it would however results differences between the native colors of your presentation or making texts are barely readable.These flaws can be get rid by using drop shadows effects and strokes techniques,we’d recommend to use black or dark colors for the borders and the shadows.Besides,the size of font is also considerably important,we recommend the size of font in around 5% of the overall size beneath your slide.
[The differences between one without border/shadow and one with the effects on.]
Background color/image plays an important role too,avoid using underpixels pictures and awkward background color for your work.Avoid stretching picture,enlarging by using shift+mouse to prevent stretching.
The distinguish can be clearly seen by these picture,above is the one with correct background combination while the bottom is coversely not.
2.Conciser Contents
What presentation is actually meant to be concise and informative,thus audience would only want to witness the “essences” of your information with the simplest possible way.Avoid using long and small fonts in your slide,we recommend 25-50% of words only permitted in a single slide,else the excessive will bring to drawbacks.If you really could not manage to summarize them,you may try to separate the contents into 2 slides instead of one,divide them into few paragraph instead of one.

3.Utilization of colors
Despite color does not owns life,but it could speaks!Colors can deliver the message of your contents significantly,better than words occasionally.Kindly refer to here,we found among the webs,and this really helps in letting you to indicate which color would suits your slide more. http://www.squidoo.com/colorexpert
For instance,Green color effects us physically and mentally which has Soothing,Relaxing mentally as well as physically, Helps alleviate depression, nervousness and anxiety,Offers a sense of renewal, self-control and harmony.Leverage the advantage of color with its tone to enhance your slide!
4.Sounds(Optional)
Unlike colors,sounds is neither extravagance nor important to your slide,without sounds,your presentation would not die though.But sometimes it could deliver immersive experience to your slide,in this aspect we recommend instrumental sounds rather than acoustic musics.Because what perceived by the audience is not the song itself,but the presentation,placing instrumental musics will enhance and would not abrupt the priority of the contents you’re showing.
5.Fine tune your hardware settings
In this aspect,we’re emphasizing mostly in visual part,namely contrast,gamma,brightness of a display.However,these settings can be adjusted in the projector or the pc itself.Besides ensuring the focus of sharpness by bare eyes,you can execute a text file to indicate the sharpness.We recommend”+++++” characters to indicates the sharpness,if it’s blur,you may want to adjust the focus ring of the projector or the respective remote control.
Indicate the sharpness by just using ++++ characters,it would clearly shown out the sharpness.
Conclusion
In before after,I have a confession here,this article is actually specially made for teacher’s day.I had figured out this idea which inspired by the lackness of these aspects from my school’s teachers.Let’s hope that this article would helps them,and for the discerned readers you guys may take it as a reference or daily IT tricks to bring out your work for the better.A great presentation may distinguish you and others from a prestigious job or offers,that’s why the leverage of appearance would enhance your slides thoroughly.
