May 22, 2008
You may have had the opportunity to read this earlier piece on Scott Elias and how to improve Power Point presentations. Dean Shareski adds his two-cents to the discussion in YouTube - PowerPoint Extreme Makeover, which gives concrete before-and-after examples with a few helpful tips.
The highlights:
- More high-quality visuals: use a picture to not just illustrate but to tell the story;
- Don’t try to make your PowerPoint stand alone, your delivery counts;
- Don’t show the text you are reading in your narration;
- Make the text you use stand out using contrast and fonts;
- Get a remote clicker.
Stop killing your audience’s attention and start making killer presentations with these helpful tips. -ALICE MERCER
