- Templates create a theme or sense of unity throughout your presentation.
- The audience will "learn" the template, and thus not be distracted by a changing environment.
- The background design may vary throughout the presentation.
- Only vary it to the extent of showing different concepts or for graphics readability.
- The color scheme should stay consistent throughout the presentation.
- Throughout the presentation, titles and subtitles should appear in the:
- same location;
- same color; and
- same font.
- The template is a good place to advertise:
- your institution;
- your department; or
- the conference at which you are presenting.
- The eye travels to the bottom right corner as a visual is being changed. This spot may be a good place for the logo or information.
