Most people pay little attention to the edges of visuals, but this space matters as well.
Whether you decide to crowd the edges or leave an invisible frame around the edges of
slides, the key thing is to be intentional and consistent. With large photos, they might as
well bleed off the edges of slides. If you decide not to fill the entire screen with an image,
be sure the invisible frame of white space is wide enough to look intentional and provide
breathing space. Personally, I do not see the need for including an actual frame around
the slide unless you have a very large screen. Screens are almost always too small, not
too large—so why fill valuable white space with a full border or decorative frame?
A consistent border acts as protection around the photographic element. White is clean and dramatic.
