Use 2-3 main colors that reflect the theme and message. Ensure sufficient contrast between background and text for readability. Font Selection Selecting appropriate fonts contributes to overall readability and aesthetic appeal. Choose easily readable fonts for body text (e.g., Arial, Helvetica). Use decorative fonts sparingly and only for headings to maintain focus. Adjusting Based on Audience Use of Images Tailor your content and delivery style to the audience's level and interests.
