Marp Slide Creation Best Practices

Guidelines for creating "cool" high-quality slides.

Slide Titles (h2)

✅ Good Examples

• Concise: About 5-7 characters
• Clear: Content is immediately understandable
• Consistent: Use the same style at the same hierarchy level

## Introduction
## Problem
## Solution
## Results

❌ Bad Examples

## In this section we will explain the introduction
## What are the challenges we are facing

Bullet Points

✅ Good Examples

• 3-5 items: Not too many
• Concise: About 15-25 characters per line
• Parallel: Same grammatical structure at the same level

- Simple and easy to understand
- Unified design
- Effective information delivery

❌ Bad Examples

- This is a very long explanation that doesn't fit on one line and becomes difficult to read
- Short
- The next item is in sentence format. This lack of uniformity makes it hard to read.

1. Title Slide (<!-- _class: lead -->)

   • Title
   • Presenter name
   • Date

2. Agenda Slide

Using Whitespace

• Breathing room: Appropriate "pauses" between slides

Using Colors

Leverage colors defined in the theme:

• Background color: #f8f8f4 (light beige)
• Text color: #3a3b5a (dark navy)
• Heading color: #4f86c6 (blue)
• Accent color: #000000 (black)

When Using Additional Colors

Use sparingly and avoid excessive decoration.

Using Images

Effective Usage

• Clear purpose: To aid understanding, not just decoration
• High quality: Use high-resolution images
• Appropriate size: Neither too large nor too small
