DownloadIf you are presenting is a room with no light, show your audience that your care about their eye comfort by using Dark Mode slides. As Sameer Samat, Google's VP of product management put it: "Everyone can relate to being in a room where the lights are turned down and you've got this white screen blinding you."

Paul Bay, the founder of Citizenbay and Citizenbrand, investigates how people can become more elegant in their business life for "CMO by Adobe." Bay entertains the idea that elegance in business goes beyond well-fitted suits and covers manners and even business solutions.
Bay writes: "Elegance in business is about seeking simplicity out of complexity, long-lasting foundations for success rather than short-term stop gaps, incredible customer service for the long term rather quick shiny idea that dissolves within a week, real inspiration instead of ineffective 'brainstorms in a darkened room'."
Here are some tips on how to put together a presentation that is both elegant and meaningful:
You don't want your slide designs to be busy. Having too many ideas in one presentation slide is irritating and distractive, so make sure to introduce only one idea per slide to retain your stakeholders' full attention.
Stick to a maximum of two-three fonts throughout your presentation and stay consistent by using one font for headers, another one for subheads, and so on. Bold and italicize text as needed, but with caution.
In a nutshell, visual hierarchy is the principle of arranging elements to show their order of importance with the main goal of helping viewers to comprehend the information with ease. Lay out all the elements in your presentation strategically, so you can influence your audience's perception of your message in a positive way.
Always remember the words of wisdom from author and legendary former business executive, Seth Godin: "No more than six words on a slide. EVER. There is no presentation so complex that this rule needs to be broken."
Bullet points can be pretty boring. If you want to spice things up, consider other design elements. Icons and graphics, for example, make great alternatives to bullet points.
Use no more than two-three colors in your slideshow to avoid a busy, tacky look. Keep in mind that accent colors should be used carefully. Employ them wisely by drawing attention to the most important sections of your slideshow.
To create a more interactive experience with your elegance presentation, add audio or video elements to it. By doing so, you will allow your audience to take small breaks and entertain them at the same time.
"Simplicity," as we know, "is the ultimate sophistication," so when it comes to images and photos, you want to keep it simple and stick to one per slide. Also, use only high-resolution graphics to make your presentation look sophisticated and polished.
