Tips to Consider When Making Slidemaker Presentation Background Changes
1. Keep It Simple
A clean, minimal background prevents distraction and keeps your audience focused on your content.
2. Ensure Strong Contrast
Choose a background that makes your text easy to read. Light text works best on dark backgrounds, and dark text works best on light backgrounds.
3. Stay Consistent Across Slides
Using different backgrounds on every slide can look messy. Stick to one or two styles to maintain a professional, unified look.
4. Use Colors That Fit Your Theme
Pick background colors that match your brand, topic, or presentation mood. Avoid overly bright or clashing colors.
5. Avoid Busy or Overly Detailed Images
If using images, choose simple, subtle ones. Busy photos make text difficult to read and weaken your message.
