Selecting a Font

It is generally a good idea not to use Times New Roman in a presentation as it is more suited to print. But what font should you use? The font you decide to use will perhaps say more about you and your presentation than you might think.

Take for example Comic Sans Ms: whilst you may find this font fun or lighthearted it can give people the impression that you are not taking your presentation seriously.

Any font wish is too garish or complex will not only make your presentation harder to read but also detract attention away from the substance and meaning. People may also be confused as to what they are seeing or be annoyed as to how difficult it is to read.

Be practical with your choice of font, make sure that it is suited to your presentation in style and tone.

Use a sans-serif font – these are clear and precise. Verdana, Arial and Tahoma are some of the most popular for this very reason.
