Know your audience and structure your presentation before designing slides. Use keywords to transform sentences into concise statements. Organize information on each slide using a legible font. Ensure design consistency across slides by using your company's brand guidelines and colors. Illustrate ideas visually with graphs or charts but include no more than 1-2 images per slide. Frequently save your work to prevent data loss.
