The document provides basic guidelines for creating effective PowerPoint presentations. It recommends using dark text on light backgrounds for paper presentations and light text on dark backgrounds for projected slides. It emphasizes keeping backgrounds consistent, focusing on information over style, left-justifying bullet points for readability, placing graphics off-center to allow more text, using consistent fonts and font sizes, including only key points to avoid overload, and using contrasting colors for visibility.

The following 37 slides present guidelines and suggestions for the use of fonts, colors, and graphics when preparing PowerPoint presentations for
Sessions and Seminars.
This media (PPT) is designed to ENHANCE your presentation, not BE the presentation.
Remember, only you can prevent
“Death by PowerPoint”
PowerPoint Presentation Guidelines
Highlight key points or reinforce what the facilitator is saying
Should be short and to the point, include only key words and phases for visual, reinforcement
In order for your presentation to fit on most screens, text and images should be placed within 95% of the PowerPoint slide. This “action safe” area is seen in the next slide.

Layout continuity from frame to frame conveys a sense of completenessHeadings, subheadings, and logos should show up in the same spot on each frameMargins, fonts, font size, and colors should be consistent with graphics located in the same general position on each frameLines, boxes, borders, and open space also should be consistent throughout
PowerPoint Layout
Fonts Font Style Should be ReadableRecommended fonts: Arial, Tahoma, VerandaStandardize the Font ThroughoutThis presentation is in Tahoma
Do !
This is a good title size Verdana 40 point
A good subtitle or bullet point size Verdana 32 point
Content text should be no smaller than
Verdana 24 point
This font size is not recommended for content. Verdana 12 point.
Font SizeThe larger, the better. Remember, your slides must be readable, even at the back of the room.

Font Size
What does this say? Garamond Font, Italic, Bold 12pt.
This is very difficult to read. Times Font, Bold, 12pt.
This point could be lost. Century Gothic Font, Bold, Italic, 14pt.
No one will be able to read this. Gill Sans Font, Condensed Bold, 12pt Combining small font sizes with bold or italics is not recommended:Small fonts are okay for a footer, such as:
Don’t !

Don’t !
Caps and ItalicsDO NOT USE ALL CAPITAL LETTERSMakes text hard to readConceals acronymsDenies their use for EMPHASISItalicsUsed for “quotes”Used to highlight thoughts or ideasUsed for book, journal, or magazine titles
Use a TemplateUse a set font and color scheme.Different styles are disconcerting to the audience.You want the audience to focus on what you present, not the way you present.
Use the Same Background
on Each Slide
Do !!
Don’t use multiple backgrounds in your presentation
Changing the style is distracting
Don’t!
ColorsReds and oranges are high-energy but can be difficult to stay focused on.
Greens, blues, and browns are mellower, but not as attention grabbing.
Reds and Greens can be difficult to see for those who are color blind.
Avoid These Combinations

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing DaysKari Kakkonen
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.
