Simplicity

39. Everything should be made as “simple as possible but not simpler.”

40. Apparently, being simple
is not that simple.
Will give you some examples.

41. Don’t worry: knowing the
language doesn’t really help.

43. Notice cool background.

47. Fundamental problem?

48. PowerPoint helps to:
! Visualize ideas
" Create key points
# Impress

52. They use it as:
! P rompter
" H andouts
# D a t a dumps

53. People read faster than you speak.
This means you are useless.

54. How much is an extra slide?
$0.00. Zero Dollars.
Break it in several. It’s free.

55. What’s the point?
One simple point?
Remove everything else.

56. Well, some are
just hopeless.

57. Ditch stupid “rules”
•Do you remember the rule:
•7 lines per slide or less
7 words per line or less?
•Well, it is just plain stupid
If you follow this “rule”
You get a slide like this

59. Simple design rules*
! O ne point per slide
" Few matching colours
# Very few fonts
$ P h o tos, not clipart
* pun intended

62. Less text.
More imagery.
Wild imagery.

63. But what if I need to
send or print the slides?

64. Write a document

66. The Largest
Leasing Companies
•Hansa Leasing
•РГ Лизинг
•Авангард-Лизинг
•Raiffeisen Leasing
•ММБ-Лизинг
Make 2 sets of slides

67. Print with notes

68. Inform with little text*
* yes you can

69. ! " # $
Rehearsal

70. It will never work completely
for the first time. Trust me.

71. YOU PRESENTATION RECIPIENT
Feedback. Go get some.

72. No audience? Present to the
furniture. But aloud. Try it.

73. Check the room
and equipment.

74. Presentation checklist

75. All this leads to...

76. Wow*
* great presentations
