Design Tips & Tricks 🔥

Ensure the background text is relevant to the slide’s content. It can be keywords, motivational phrases, or thematic words that complement the main message.
Keep the background text large enough to be seen but not too large to overshadow the main content.
Use contrasting colors between the animated text and the foreground content.
