Now, far from being a stressful situation, it has to be an excellent opportunity to put our talent and creativity to the test. To help you with this, here are some tips that can be very useful.
How to put together the best slides to make your presentation a success?
Use quality images.
First of all, it is important to highlight the value of the images. Using many and good quality is what will make the difference from a boring presentation, to a dynamic that arouses the interest of your audience. After all, we shouldn’t forget that we live in an era where images carry great weight.
It is enough to check it in the daily use that we have with our smartphone: how many images pass in just 10 seconds in front of our eyes? The answer can be surprising. That is why rather than prioritizing dumping a large amount of text on each slide, you must rely more on the power of your images.

As we highlighted, living in a historical time where everything is governed by images, quality is what will end up making the difference. After all, if there are applications to control your health, how could there not be apps or online sites that do the hard work of your slides in a simple and agile way?
Select the ideal font.
Another key element, and one that is often neglected, is the choice of fonts for the text. Although we have already pointed out that it is important not to introduce a large amount of text, the one that we do place on our slides must have a more than careful selection that transmits modernity and seriousness at the same time.
cumming from the classics Arial either Times New Roman, without falling into overly picturesque fonts; It will show that you really care about your message and that you care that it looks its best.
Use templates.
Another key is to allow yourself to be inspired by the design ideas offered by online programs and resources, since there you could find that layout that you were looking for for your slides and that you could not solve.
That will allow you to save time, discomfort and focus on what really matters: which is the assembly of the presentation in its entirety.
Use animations.
Finally, don’t be afraid to innovate with animations and special effects. Although it is not recommended to abuse them, intelligent use will make a difference with the others.
In this sense, it must also be taken into account that those online programs and applications that we have referred to above also facilitate these options so that both you and your project can be shown with their full potential.
