slides from "summary" of Presentation Zen by Garr Reynolds
When we say "slides," we are referring to the visual elements that accompany a presentation. These slides are often created using software like PowerPoint or Keynote. However, the problem arises when these slides become the main focus of the presentation, overshadowing the speaker and the message they are trying to convey. The slides end up being cluttered with too much text, distracting animations, and irrelevant images. The key to effective slides is simplicity. By keeping the slides simple, with minimal text and impactful visuals, the audience can better focus on the speaker and the message being communicated. Clarity is also crucial when designing slides. Each slide should have a clear purpose and convey a single idea or concept. This makes it easier for the audience to understand and retain the information being presented. In addition to simplicity and clarity, coherence is essential in creating slides that flow seamlessly from one to the next. The slides should be logically sequenced, with each one building upon the previous one to tell a cohesive story. Transition words and phrases can help guide the audience through the presentation and connect the slides together. Consistency in tone and style is also important when designing slides. The font, colors, and layout should all be consistent throughout the presentation to create a cohesive visual identity. Grammar and syntax should be correct to ensure that the message is communicated clearly and professionally.
