Text is evil. With text, less is almost always
more. One thing to avoid, slides with a lot
of text, especially if it’s a repeat of what
you’re saying out loud. It’s like if you give a
paper handout in a meeting, everyone’s
head goes down and they read, rather
than staying heads-up and listening. If
there are a lot of words on your slide,
you’re asking your audience to split their
attention between what they’re reading
and what they’re hearing. That’s really
hard for a brain to do, and it compromises
the effectiveness of both your slide text
and your spoken words. If you can’t avoid
having text-y slides, try to progressively
reveal text (like unveiling bullet points one
by one) as you need it.
