Editor's Notes
- Everyday people around the world torture each other with presentations. Most of those presentations are bad. Why it happens? Because they have to. Their boss told them so, they try to sell something or try to pitch their ideas to investors. But they don't want to make presentations. Making presentations is difficult and takes a lot of time. And the result is so/so. It's not obvious why it's beneficial. People are not passionate enough to pass their passion to other people. So you should make a presentation to make a meaning. You should find your own interest in it. Why the subject matters for you. That's how you can get a passion. If you can't find a meaning - do not present.
- If you're doing a presentation here's a list of keypoints. Content is that 'meaning'. Why you're doing this presentation.
- Structure is more about storytelling. Story + facts. They are married. There could be more fancy narratives, but I'm cool with this two most basic and common.
- Sometimes you'll get less time than expected, sometimes mors. So your structure should be scalable. I don't think that more arguments are reasonable because people couldn't remember that much information. This structure is totally scalable.
- If you have 5 minutes you'll talk about arguments, if 15 minutes you'll add few details, and so on.
- Why do use presentations instead of sending your paper by email or regular talk?
- When people want to impress they usually use large beautiful things.
- So you images should be large and beautiful.
- I don't know what's wrong with prostate cancer people but yes, your images should be relevant. It they are not ask yourself why do you want to use them?
- It’s still about relevance. But also it’s about clipart. I’m talking about Dr Octopus right now. Please don't use clipart. MS Office was published in 90s and there's no reson to use it now. And stock photos too. They don't look natural.
- And stock photos too. They don't look natural.
- I've seen a lot of slides that look more like document. But it is a presentation. People can read your paper if they want to read. And here's two problems: people they read much faster than you speak and people can not read and listen simultaneously. You are completely useless.
- If you are not 100% sure that you are a great designer, use few matching colors and very few fonts. Books are written with one font and two colors and they are fine.
- Try to make your slides as simple as possible. Use one slide for one idea. If you divide this slides into three and show them sequentially, you'll get larger images and better understanding.
- And finally when we make slides to prove. That's what we love in sciencs. Data.
- We collect data, we process data, we spend a lot of time on it and want to show everyone all our data. But it's still not a paper.
- You should show what's the point. One simple point and remove everything else. If you still want to show all your data, highlight the main idea at least. And yes, if you didn't notice this is an ant and it's holding a piece of bread.
- This it pretty straightforward. Show your presentation to your most sarcastic friend. Make a few rehersals. Speak loud and clear, talk to the audience and look at the audience.
