MORE
IMAGES LESS TEXT

WORD HEAVY SLIDES can be difficult to read from the back of the room, and people can only listen and read at the same time for a very short period.

If they end up having to choose between listening to you talk or reading your slides, you become OUT OF SYNC with your audience.

IS YOUR PRESENTATION WORKING WITH YOU
OR AGAINST YOU?

IMAGES ARE NICE TO LOOK AT,
ENGAGING, ENRICHING, AND
CAN SUPPORT YOUR STORY.

Morguefile also has stock photography – there are fewer images but they’re free for commercial use. TIP: There are images where no attribution is required – these are useful for situations where there’s no room to credit the author, e.g. posters, business cards, and tweets

RULE 2
MAKE
ONE POINT PER SLIDE
![Page 24: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
THIS GOES BACK TO THE
IDEA OF BEING IN SYNC
WITH YOUR AUDIENCE.
![Page 25: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Focus on one thing at a time. Allow your audience to digest it, then move with
them onto the next theme.
![Page 26: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
DRAW ATTENTION TO IMPORTANT MESSAGES
WITH COLOUR

OF COURSE, FEEL
FREE TO BREAK THE
ONE POINT PER
SLIDE RULE WITH
GOOD REASON
![Page 29: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
INTRODUDCTIONS
SUMMARIES
COMPARISONS
ALL OF THESE
THINGS CAN
REQUIRE STACKING
ON THE SAME SLIDE
![Page 30: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
BUT OTHERWISE GIVE
EACH POINT IN YOUR
PRESENTATION
ROOM TO BREATHE
![Page 31: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
RULE 3
NO
BULLET POINTS
![Page 32: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
BULLET POINTS CAUSE ALL
SORTS OF PROBLEMS.
• They’re ugly • They encourage you to put more
than one point on each slide • They don’t leave much room for
images • They’re symptomatic of a wider
DEATH BY POWERPOINT malaise
![Page 33: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
BULLET POINTS ALSO ENCOURAGE
YOU TO READ THE SLIDE ALOUD.
![Page 34: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
BULLET POINTS ALSO ENCOURAGE
YOU TO READ THE SLIDE ALOUD.
And if you’re saying the exact same thing that’s written on the slide, why do you even need to be there?
![Page 35: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Learning is reduced when information presented is redundant – such as reading text verbatim from slides
![Page 36: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
RULE 4 KEEP IT
SIMPLE
![Page 37: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
KEEPING IT SIMPLE DOESN’T MEAN
DUMBING DOWN
![Page 38: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
IT’s .about
GETTING RID OF EVEYTHING THAT ISN’T ESSENTIAL TO TELLING YOUR STORY.

.about
![Page 40: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Learning is improved when multimedia is free from extraneous information
![Page 41: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
SO, WHAT COUNTS AS
EXTRANEOUS?
![Page 42: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
SO, WHAT COUNTS AS
EXTRANEOUS? Animations?
Yup. If they’re there to make a specific point, by all means use them – but if they’re there for the sake of it, they spoon-feed the audience so much it lulls their brains into a non-receptive state (akin to watching TV rather than a presentation)
![Page 43: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
SO, WHAT COUNTS AS
EXTRANEOUS? Transitions?
Yes. If all your slides transition from one to the next with the same effect or animation (with an upward sweep, or by revolving, etc) then it makes them all feel the same. There’s no WEIGHTING of the information you’re presenting. So transitions don’t help you tell your story – if anything they do the opposite. Animations = extraneous.
![Page 44: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
SO, WHAT COUNTS AS
EXTRANEOUS? Templates?
Absolutely, PPT Templates are extraneous too. Having your organisational logo on every slide is the very definition of extraneous – have it at the beginning and the end, but not on each one of the 50 slides in between. Templates get in the way of learning. They’re nothing to do with the story.

TO TELL YOUR STORY, YOU NEED A HIERACHY OF INFORMATION. WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE - YOU, OR POWERPOINT?
![Page 47: THE FOUR MOST IMPORTANT POWERPOINT · PDF fileBUT MOST IMPORTANTLY, IMAGES HELP PEOPLE LEARN COMPFIGHT MORGUEFILEFREEIMAGES PHOTFUNIA MULTICOLR Photofunia allows you to put your own](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022022505/5abe12e77f8b9a3a428c89de/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
TO TELL YOUR STORY, YOU NEED A HIERACHY OF INFORMATION. WHO’S IN CHARGE HERE - YOU, OR POWERPOINT?

At the start I said that a good looking presentation is just a by-product of an effective one. This is based on the four multimedia learning principles dotted throughout the slides, to back up the rules.

Learning is improved when narration occurs simultaneously with relevant images. Learning is improved when attention is focused on important parts of the presentation with cues highlighting key material.
Learning is improved when multimedia is free from extraneous information.
Learning is reduced when information presented is redundant – such as reading text verbatim from slides.

There are plenty of other rules about making presentations (like only using 3 fonts, for example, which I’ve completely ignored for this one) – but none of them are as important as these four, because they relate to substance (from which style should be a natural by-product).

It’s not a RULE as such, but using non-standard fonts in a presentation also makes a huge difference to how engaging it looks.
