Designing slides for a sermon can be very different from most PowerPoint® projects. Rules for slides used in large screen presentations are different than the rules for building presentations for your laptop. We also need to keep in mind that we are trying to build visuals that enhance—and not hinder—the sermon message. Here are a few tips that will help when designing slides for sermons
Tip 1: Fonts for Your Sermon
For most slides, use an easy-to-read, bold, sans-serif font (like Arial or one of the Helveticas). White text on a dark background and black text on a light background are the easiest to read.
Use a maximum of two fonts throughout the presentation.
Don't use all capital letters: We recognize words by their ascenders and descenders. When you capitalize, it produces a straight line across the top and bottom of the letters, so there is no variation in the words. Balance out your text and don't cram it all onto one slide. Feel free to add more slides to the presentation to accommodate all of your text.
