Visual Aids? • Short talks do not usually need visual aids • The slides are aids not the script • Keep them simple and focused Distributed under a creative commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike licence. Version 1.0.0 © Adam Trickett, March-2009
11.
11
Written Notes? • Reading out written notes is usually very dull to listen to • When speaking without notes it's easy to miss something • Turning the page can help pace the talk Distributed under a creative commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike licence.

This is a very bad slide • This slide has a lot of nasty things going on • However it's fairly typical in the corporate world • Too many things in once place is really annoying • I'd be amazed if anyone can read this • It's really very bad isn't it • Notice the deliberate misspellikg • Even the clip art looks rubbish with a white background • This point doesn't even fit properly Distributed under a creative commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike licence. Version 1.0.0 © Adam Trickett, March-2009

Good Slide
This is a simple point ● Things stand-out if everything is simple ● There is nothing confusing ●
