Frame the Scene: Images and White Space

Created by: eResponders

Byte 3 of 4 · 4 minutes

There is a point where adding one more bullet or one more image starts working against a slide, and it can be hard to know where that point is. This Byte covers how white space gives each element room to do its job, including the six-by-six rule as a practical limit on text, and it moves into choosing images that are relevant to your topic, consistent in style, and accessible to people using screen readers.

By the end of this Byte, you will be able to lay out slides that stay clear and choose images that genuinely support your message.

This is the third of four Bytes in Design Tips to Level Up Your PowerPoint, a short course that follows a presentation the way a film production moves from the opening scene to the premiere.
