What you will get

A presentation slide with a large quotation mark, your quote in elegant serif type, the speaker’s name in small caps below, and a soft textured background with wide margins.

Why it works

A quote slide is about one sentence, so the prompt gives it a large quotation mark, elegant serif type and wide margins, and keeps everything else soft. Putting the name in small caps below gives credit without competing. A subtle textured background adds warmth to an otherwise empty slide, and keeping the quote under 20 words, as the tip says, keeps the type large enough to read from the back of a room.

Common mistake

The quote comes out with wrong or missing words.

Fix: Keep the quote under 20 words, as the tip says. If a letter is wrong, make the background only and set the words in your slide software.

Also watch for

The text is too small to read from the back of a room. Say “the quote fills about half the slide width in large type, the name much smaller”.
The background texture fights with the words. Ask for “a very subtle texture, low contrast, nothing behind the text but the colour”.

Try a variation: dark version

Change the background to “deep navy” and add “the quote in warm ivory type, a thin gold line under it”. Check the contrast on a projector before the talk.

Still not right? Reply with this

Keep the quote short, large and centred, the name small below it, with a very subtle low-contrast background and wide margins.
