Editor's Notes
- ~Keep your slides simple, Reynolds suggest there should be “plenty of white space” and that your slides should not be cluttered with information ~There should be “visual power” in your slides
- ~Do not bore your audience with bullet point after bullet point ~Reynolds suggests some of the best slides, may have minimal to no text at all ~Do not overwhelm your audience with mass amounts of details, he suggests a handout to convey important detail
- ~Limit the amount of animations used on each slide, including bullet points
- ~Reynolds suggests to only use 2 or 3 transitions throughout a presentation ~You shouldn't have a transition animation between every slide, it can be distracting
- ~Never stretch small, low resolution images to fit your slide ~Avoid using PowerPoint Clip Art ~Reynolds often uses images of people, he feels it gives the audience more of a connection to the slide
- ~Avoid using PowerPoint templates, they are too original and most people have already seen them ~Make your own background templates, which will make your presentation more relatable and exciting
- ~Do not include too much data in your charts ~Use color to show the most important data on in your chart ~Explode Pie charts when certain information needs to be highlighted ~ Use no more than 4-8 charts
- ~Color can play a huge role in your presentation because it can create emotional attachment to your slides ~Make sure the correct chart type is being used for certain data
- ~ Use the same font throughout the entire presentation ~ Serif Fonts are NOT made for presentations, as they are smaller and harder to read ~San-Serif fonts are generally the best and easiest to read in a presentation
- ~Use the video when necessary, make it so you never have to leave the powerpoint ~ Avoid cheesy sound effects
- ~Present information in small chunks or portions ~Have a logic flow to your presentation
