Things Simple, But Good

3. What is Simplicity?
The dictionary defines simplicity as
“The quality or condition of being easy to understand or do.”
Or
“The quality or condition of being plain or natural.”

4. Simple, Not Bland
From the definition before, we should see that
simplicity should not come at the cost of being
bland.
You can still be creative in your presentation
while keeping it easy to make and understand.
Ways to be simple but creative can include:
● Color Scheme for backgrounds
● Set font with different additions to emphasize
certain things (eg, italics for quotes or bold for
important points)
● Less animations and quirky transitions, focus on
smoother movements between slides.
● Use images, but don’t overload your presentation
with them
● Only use as many slides as you need to make
your point

5. Why Keep it
Simple?
Did you know that having slides actually
have higher probability of diminishing your
authority in a presentation?
If your slides are more elaborate, your
audience if forced to split their attention
between the slides and your voice.
By having simple slides, you offer an aid to
your topic, but keep the audience on you as
the authority.

6. So
Remember...
Simple means easy to
understand or do for you and
your audience
Simplicity should not come at the
cost of making things dull
Simplicity offers you support in
presenting
