Best Practices

1. One Idea Per Slide - If you have multiple points, split them
2. High-Res Images - Minimum 1920x1080, prefer 4K
3. Consistent Style - Pick one brand style and stick to it
4. Minimal Animation - Less is exponentially more
5. Test Your Deck - Present it once before the real presentation

Tips for World-Class Results

Typography:

• Use max 2 font families per deck
• Keep titles under 2 lines
• Limit body text to 6 lines max

Colors:

• Stick to design system palette
• Maintain 4.5:1 contrast ratio
• Use accent color sparingly (10% of slides)

Spacing:

• Maintain 100-120px margins from edges
• Give titles 60-80px breathing room
• Space elements generously

Animation:

• Use Fade for 90% of transitions
• Reserve Zoom/Reveal for special moments
• Keep duration 0.4-0.7s
• Never use Ferris Wheel, Curtains, etc.

Troubleshooting

"Colors don't match my brand" → Specify exact colors in frontmatter

"Too many animations" → Set animations: minimal in frontmatter

"Slides too dense" → Follow 6x6 rule: max 6 bullets, 6 words each

"Wrong style selected" → Explicitly set style: tech-keynote in frontmatter
