That will limit or expand your layout options. If you have three big points, use a horizontal or vertical layout split, it\u2019s easy and fuss-free.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have the prerogative to keep your presentation brief, use larger images for callouts, to take advantage of the \u201cpicture superiority effect\u201d for better audience attention and recollection.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When picking images for your slides, try to pick ones with more whitespace and, if humans are concerned, ones with faces. This gives you more layout options as well as helps to build rapport with your audience.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Always ensure there is adequate contrast between your text and the background. If there isn\u2019t, either add a shape or gradient to make the words legible.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When laying out elements or text, be deliberate. Use the rule of thirds and try not to choose too many fonts.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There you have it!
