Simplicity

! " # $

Everything should be made as

“simple as possible but not

simpler.”

Apparently, being simple is not that

simple.Will give you some

examples.

Don’t worry: knowing the language doesn’t really help.

Notice cool background.

Hey, we’ve got DATA!

Fundamental problem?

PowerPoint helps to:

! Visualize ideas

" Create key points

# Impress

They use itas:

! P rompter

" H andouts

# D a t a dumps

People read faster than you speak.

This means you are useless.

How much is an extra slide?

$0.00. ZeroDollars.

Break it in several. It’s free.

What’s the point?

One simple point?

Remove everything else.

Well, some

are just

hopeless.

•Do you remember the rule:

•7 lines per slide or less 7 words per line or less?

•Well, it is just plain stupid If you follow this “rule” You get a slide like this

Ditch stupid“rules”

Simple design rules*! O ne point per slide

" Few matching colours

# Very few fonts

$ P h o tos, not clipart

* pun intended

Less text.More imagery.

Wild imagery.

But what if I need tosend or print the

slides?

It will never work completely for the first time. Trust me.

YOU PRESENTATION

RECIPIENT

Feedback. Go get some.

No audience? Present to the furniture. But aloud. Try it.

Check the room and equipment.

All this leads to...

Wow*
