5. So much text that you might as well
read a book!
You see slides with so much text on them that it
seems as though the presenter needs all their content
on the slide so in case they forget what it is that
they’re saying, they can turn around and read the
slide to the audience, just in case the audience can’t
read it themselves. But by this stage the audience has
already finished reading and wonders why you’re
reading the information as well, because they can
read, didn’t you realise that? (oh, and the slide is
numbered, possibly dated with a title at the bottom
and some meaningless code, just to make sure there
5
is no extra space left at all) (better fill this bit!)

๏With only six words per bullet
๏Print out the slides as well
๏Add animated text just for fun
๏Use fonts that are too small
๏And read them out as well!
