| Mistake | Why It’s Bad | The Fix | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | | The logo disappears or becomes illegible. | Use the official "Photo - Dark Overlay" slide master. | | Changing "Viterbi" to "Viterbi School of Engineering" in the footer | The footer is locked for a reason; it includes registered trademarks. | Do not unlock the Slide Master unless you are a MarComm designer. | | Using Gold text on a White background | Gold is too light; contrast fails. | Gold is for accents (lines, icons). Text should be Cardinal or Dark Grey. | | Inserting a SmartArt graphic | SmartArt uses default Microsoft colors (blue, orange, green) that clash with USC branding. | Re-color the SmartArt manually using the theme color picker. |
