This document compares the slow and fast ways of creating a presentation. The slow way involves spending an hour on each slide designing and reworking the text and layout. This would result in a 10 slide presentation taking 10 hours. The fast way advocates first writing the text on each slide in a draft, then uploading it to a site like Wonderslide to automatically design the slides, which can then be edited if needed. This allows a presentation to be created in just 3.5 hours rather than the 9.5 hours it would take using the slow method of designing each element of every slide. The document promotes making presentations more efficiently through dividing the process into separate writing and design stages.

1. Creating a Cool
Presentation: Slow or
Fast?

2. You work for hours on each slide in turn:
Idea, text, design, idea, text, design, and
so on. You get to the 10th slide, but you
can't remember what was on the 3 slide.
Each time you get distracted from the
main idea and think about the design,
and each slide takes a lot of time. And
then you have to go back and check
everything, align the lists and change the
wording.
