POWERPOINT Live Blog: 11/7/12

Make the presentations interesting, and attention getting. Use bullets effectively.
Always make sure that the topic is something you care about, it will make the presentation more interesting.
Have Structure.

• Build a great presentation
• Convincing 
• Memorable 
• Scalable 
• Problem - Pathway - Solution

Give three to four reasons supporting your point. Keep it simple.
Be able to scale and present main points

Have a sort of balance in the slides

Don't use as a prompter.

Break slides up if space is needed.

Simple design rules:

• One point per slide
• Few matching colours 
• Very few fonts
• Photos, not clipart

Less text. More imagery. Wild imagery.
Use good strong images to add to what you are talking about.
Print Notes, if you have some, on the individual slides.
