Template Notes:

Heading font: Montserrat�Body font: Lato�Minitex blue (#0E76BC) on white (#FFFFFF) contrast ratio: 4.84:1�Black body font color (#424242) on white: 10.04:1

The Minitex logo with the word “Minitex” appears on this slide.

We have added a note about this because the logo in this template is part of the “master slide,” Alt text would not be read off by a screen reader in this case, so we took the extra step to add it to the notes.

You can address this a few ways:

Add a description of the image in the notes, as we have done here
Add an image to the slide that blends in with the background and add the Alt text for the Minitex logo there.
Choose not to use images or graphics on the master slide template. Add them directly to the slide and you will not need to take these extra steps (assuming the image already has Alt text).

Note: If you have something like a logo appear as part of the master template on every slide, you do not need to add alt text to every instance of the logo as it would be considered decorative and not necessary. Having alt text on the first slide would suffice.
