I used Canva.com to find a template that stood out to me and this is what I've managed to come up with!

Key Notes on Giving Presentations

1. Choose your color schemes wisely! (Red and yellow do not go well together)
2. Not too many bullet points.
3. Be careful with the type of font you choose.
4. Run a spellcheck!

Five Shocking Design Mistakes to Avoid:
