PPT Guidelines for Interactive Television
 

General Guidelines

 -Always maintain the border around slides (maintain “broadcast area”)

- Use the rule of 6 – no more than 6 lines per slide and 6 words per line.

Avoid putting too much information on one slide

- Stay with bullets and phrases

- Use handouts for detailed information

- Use horizontal or landscape orientation

- Avoid red colors and busy backgrounds

- Use darker backgrounds and lighter letters

- Yellow on blue is clear and readable

- For broadcast, avoid movement builds and animations

                To put builds in a slide, it’s best to use “appear”

-Keep color scheme, slide layout, and design consistent

 

Fonts

-Use Sans Serif fonts

                Fonts such as Arial are best for broadcast

-Use 44 point for headers

-Use at least 32 point fonts for text

-Always check new visuals before using them on a broadcast

-Spelling counts
