Bad practices include bullets that are not left-aligned, text colors that blend into the background, too many graphics or columns of words, inconsistent fonts, and objects placed too far apart. Good practices include leaving-aligned bullets, high contrast between text and background colors, limiting graphics and words per group, using consistent fonts, and placing related objects close together. The document provides examples to demonstrate proper slide design for readability and comprehension.
