Quick comprehension check

Describe a scenario where using a sans-serif font on a presentation slide would be more effective than using a serif font. Explain your reasoning. Explain how you would choose an image for a slide to support the point that "knowing your audience is key," as discussed in the video. What qualities would you look for in the image, and why? Describe a slide layout that effectively uses the principle of repetition to reinforce a key message from your presentation. Explain how the layout helps the audience remember the message.
