Slide Design for Courses

Course slides: minimal text, visual emphasis, brand-consistent. Designed for learner, not presenter.

Slide design principles

1. One main point per slide
2. Visual emphasis — chart, image, diagram
3. Minimal text — 6 words rule (max words per slide)
4. Brand consistency — colors, fonts, layout
5. High contrast — readable at 720p video
6. No bullet point hell — limit nested lists
7. Animated reveal — info revealed as discussed (not all at once)

Effective slide patterns

1. Title slide — section intro
2. Concept slide — single big idea with visual
3. Comparison slide — two options side-by-side
4. Process slide — step-by-step diagram
5. Data slide — clean chart with key insight
6. Example slide — real case study
7. Recap slide — key takeaways

Slide tools

1. Keynote (Mac, beautiful animations)
2. PowerPoint (Windows, ubiquitous)
3. Google Slides (web, collaborative)
4. Figma (design-tool slides)
5. Canva (templates)
6. Pitch (modern alternative)
7. Bunny.net Slides (if shipping HTML slides)

Match tool to workflow.
