WHY RE-THINK PRESENTATIONS?

You should be speaking, not reading.

Power Points should be supporting you, not doing it for you.

The screen should not detract from what you are saying.


Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetuer adipiscing elit, sed diam nonummy nibh euismod tincidunt ut laoreet dolore magna aliquam erat volutpat.

Ut wisi enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exerci tation ullamcorper suscipit lobortis nisl ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis autem vel eum iriure dolor.

DON’T WORRY YOU ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO READ THIS

AVOID THIS















USE ILLUSTRATION


Brevity over preciseness.

YOU should provide the details.

Be careful with color …

it can get out of hand

BIG fonts

More contrast Especially for projectors, not monitors.

Inform the audience you will be giving them everything they needHandouts at the end.

MAKE YOUR POINT


Grey text on a black background does NOT work.

“Typography is not about choosing fonts…

it is about shaping that text for an optimal reading experience.”

~Oliver

Reichenstein

SOME INFO on FONTS


Keep it CleanIt should only take a few seconds for your audience to look at the chart and know exactly what it means.

You can go deeper later, but start simple and make sure your audience is with you.

Great example of when you should use a hand out.

QUESTIONS?

THANKS FOR LISTENING

Leave plenty of time for questions, or even start off with your own. If audience members don’t immediately ask a question now, maybe you could suggest a few frequently asked questions to give them time.

And for the benefit of everyone, including camera and audio, repeat the question.

Even if you don’t feel like you need to. You do.
