Presentation Principles

Here some simple rules I follow when creating presentation materials.  Powerpoint can be death, so use it wisely:

Keep It Simple:

• Use words, not sentences
• Keywords make the point
• Speaker fills in the details

Less is more.

Use Headlines in the titles:

• Key words explain the slide
• Titles should summarize slides

Bullets:

• 4~6 Bullets per Slide (not always easy to do)
• This means more slides with less writing

Fonts

• Arial (White on Blue background)
• Title Sizes are 54
• Bullet Sizes are 40 -> 36
