You don't have to be dyslexic to benefit from these presentation design guidelines

Reading through a web site with guidelines for designing web pages for dyslexic users, I realized how valuable these recommendations can be for any audience, not just people with this condition.

This is a PowerPoint presentation design guide 101:

• Choose a big, san-serif font
• Avoid capitalization
• Apply a calm background, no watermarks
• Don’t righ-justify text
• Minimize use of italics
• Keep things short, write in a simple style
• Use bullets (if you have to), don’t write proze
• Refer to the reader as “you”
• Stick to narrow columns, text lines
• Use pictures
