Editor's Notes
- #2 Garr Reynolds’ innovative slide design techniques will assist you in delivering powerful and eye catching presentations.
- #3 By keeping slides simple, with minimal words and data, your audience is focused on you rather than what is on your slides. Have the slides draw them in, but your words keep them hooked.
- #4 Bullets distract from slide design, and from what you are saying as the speaker. The audience will tune you out and simply read your slide if what you are saying is on your slides..
- #5 Transitions are distracting and, after a while, will get boring. Focus on slide design rather than unnecessary transitions.
- #6 High quality images are a no-brainer. No one wants to squint or look at grainy images.
- #7 An original theme gets the audience’s attention, and helps you stand out from the amateurs who use boring and forgettable overdone Powerpoint themes.
- #8 Knowing when and how to use the different types of graphs allow for you to communicate data to your audience more efficiently, and in a way they can understand.
- #9 Color is important because it allows text to be readable. Knowing when to use colors allows for audiences to better engage and view your presentation.
- #10 Similar to with color, a readable font is key in allowing for audience understanding.
- #11 Video is a useful tool when wanting to get a point across quickly, and a different voice can be beneficial. However, don’t let it take over the presentation.
- #12 Slide organization is obviously key. It allows for smooth transitions between slides and solid comprehension from the audience.
