Logotype on content slides www.steria.no On subsequent slides, the main emphasis should be on the content. Therefore, a dominant Steria logo does not appear in the top ribbon Instead, the Steria logotype is included in the bottom right corner of each slide following the natural eye flow (top left to bottom right)14/11/20134 5.

Content slides Avoid running an agenda over more than one slide Instead reduce the number of bullet points When introducing a particular section, highlight the line in the agenda by changing it to bold and the slide colour, ie orange, blue, green or red14/11/201320 www.steria.no 21. 3. Text slides Text slides may have one or two columns of text Do not use more than ten bullet points on a slide the fewer bullet points the better If a point is especially long, consider splitting it into two or more bullet points or a sub bullet14/11/201321 www.steria.no 22. 3.

Image slides www.steria.no Use images with care they should be relevant to the content The slide colour and image should complement each other When placing text over an image, ensure that the text is legible use a solid or semi-transparent box over the image if necessary14/11/201325 26.
