This is my second slide deck on presentation design and is designed to complement (and overlap a bit) my first: Data Visualization and Information Design: One Learner's Perspective. This one is in answer to the many questions I've been getting: How do you know this stuff and where did you learn it, and WHY are there all these new rules?
Enjoy!

This document provides guidelines for creating effective presentations with slideshows. It presents "commandments" or rules to follow, including knowing your topic well, addressing the audience directly, keeping content simple, choosing an appropriate design template, limiting use of bright colors, using clear fonts, depicting information wisely with images and graphs, organizing content appropriately across slides, limiting animated effects, and checking equipment before presenting. The overall message is that an effective presentation focuses on engaging the audience through the presenter's delivery rather than relying solely on the slide content.
1) The document introduces Alexei Kapterev, who published a popular presentation on presentation skills 4 years ago and has since become an expert in the field.
2) While most presentations still suffer from issues like poor structure, bad slides, and boring delivery, Kapterev believes everyone can learn to present well by focusing on a few key principles rather than rules.
3) The principles of focus, contrast, and unity are described as more effective than rules, and examples are given of how to apply these principles to structure, slides, and delivery.
Do you share online the same slides that you used for your live presentation? Your online audience could be missing your message. Here is an easy solution that promotes great slide creation at the same time!

- Death by PowerPoint refers to boring, poorly structured presentations delivered via PowerPoint. An estimated 50% of over 30 million daily presentations are "unbearable".
- Bad presentations can lead to bad communication, less training, worse relations, and lower sales. The key to better presentations is significance, structure, simplicity, and rehearsal.
- Significance means having a clear purpose for your presentation and passion for the topic. Structure provides a logical flow. Simplicity involves clear, concise messaging using visuals over text. Rehearsal identifies issues to improve the presentation before the live event.

Based on Alexei Kapterev's Death by PowerPoint, which inspired me a whole lot. I was so moved to redesign the pages and make them a little more interesting.
The document provides tips for improving PowerPoint presentations by focusing on significance, structure, simplicity, and rehearsal. It notes that about a million presentations are occurring right now, with 50% being unbearable due to a lack of these elements. Significance involves finding meaning and passion for the topic. Structure should be convincing, memorable, and scalable. Simplicity means using one main point per slide, simple designs, and limiting text. Rehearsal is important to receive feedback and work out any issues before presenting. The goal is to move from "bad presentations" to "wow, great presentations."
Why Presentation Matter. PowerPoint is installed on at least 1 billion computers but 95% of presentations still miss the mark. One great presentation can change the world, win hearts and minds, and convince people of your ideas.
In this SlideShare presentation, we've put together some helpful tips to improve your presentation designs and how to make your presentations more engaging.
Every presentation should understand its audience and convey your message clearly. Tell people why it matters to them, not only the what and how.
Because we truly believe presentations matter and every slide counts.
We hope you enjoy this SlideShare and if you need help with your presentation designs you know where you can find us.
This SlideShare was designed by The Presentation Designer, a presentation design agency based in the UK.

This document provides a guide to creating engaging presentations with key points about information, visuals, quality, and preparation. It recommends limiting information to 1 point per slide and grabbing attention within 3 seconds. Visuals should be used to enhance the presentation but avoid stock images. Quality requires consistent design, fonts, color schemes, and whitespace. Most importantly, proper preparation through careful creation, rehearsal is needed and can take 30 hours for a 1 hour presentation.
This document provides design tips for creating engaging presentations. It discusses 7 key principles: 1) having the highest signal-to-noise ratio by removing all clutter, 2) leveraging the picture superiority effect by including relevant images, 3) using empty space effectively, 4) employing contrast through differences, 5) incorporating repetition to create unity, 6) maintaining alignment so elements look planned, and 7) grouping related items through proximity. The overall message is to strive for simplicity, clarity and directness in presentations.
The document provides advice to speakers on how to keep their audience awake during presentations. It identifies the five most common mistakes speakers make: relying too heavily on technical aids like PowerPoint slides; lacking in-depth, engaging content; having no interaction with the audience; overusing filler words; and experiencing technical difficulties. The document urges speakers to avoid these pitfalls by preparing well and focusing on telling stories and sharing expertise, rather than just facts and slides. This will help keep audiences interested and awake.

Results of the 2015 Annoying PowerPoint SurveyDave Paradi
The document summarizes the results of Dave Paradi's 2015 survey on annoying PowerPoint presentations. Some key findings include: the top annoyance was presenters reading slides verbatim (71.7%); audiences see too many presentations with small, hard-to-read text and full sentences used as bullet points. Comments showed audiences want clear messaging, focused content in slides, and prepared delivery from presenters. The advice was to improve PowerPoint skills, prepare a concise message tailored for the audience, and use visual slides instead of overwhelming text.
The document provides 10 tips for creating readable PowerPoint slides:
1. Ensure slides can be read from the back of the room by using at least 24-point text.
2. Limit bullets to 5 per slide and break content into multiple slides if needed.
3. Use consistent wording, active voice, and avoid excessive text.
4. Keep backgrounds and charts simple with only a few elements to avoid distraction.
The document also outlines "10 PowerPoint Commandments" including frequently saving work, storing presentations properly, avoiding overuse of formatting, and not panicking during presentations.

The concept of a “brand” is no longer taboo at B2B companies. In fact, strong B2B brands outperform weaker ones by as much as 20%, according to recent research by McKinsey. Yet it’s not easy for ROI-obsessed marketers to justify spending money on their brand, which can be difficult to track. As a result, your brand is too often left either underfunded or on the back-burner altogether.
We’re going to help you solve this. In this presentation you’ll learn:
- How your brand can boost demand generation and other key performance indicators
- The elements of a B2B brand and how those are different from traditional consumer branding
- How to elevate your brand through B2B marketing channels and brand advocates
- Metrics to track the impact of your brand
This document discusses better collaboration between agencies and clients. It notes that historically, agencies did not provide clients with a full understanding of the creative process or ideas, and clients did not know how to properly evaluate work. It advocates that agencies start presentations with the agreed upon creative brief to provide necessary context before presenting ideas. Agencies should tell a story that bridges the brief to the final idea, giving clients a complete understanding. The document also provides models for properly evaluating ideas and ensuring collaborative discussions between agencies and clients.

The document discusses improving presentation slides by focusing on simplicity and visuals over text. It notes that typical slides contain too many bullet points and words, putting audiences to sleep. The document then demonstrates moving from text-heavy slides to ones with clearer messaging using fewer words and more visual elements like images. It emphasizes letting visuals tell the story rather than reading text off slides. Overall, the document promotes using innovative visual design instead of walls of text to engage audiences.
The document provides guidance on creating effective online presentations. It emphasizes showing a picture and telling a story in 3 sentences or less. Design the presentation before creating slides. Limit slides to 7 words each and avoid distracting transitions. The goal is to engage the audience to either listen or read, not both. Examples show redesigning slides from cluttered bullets to simplified visuals.
Presentation training session at HELCOMManuel Frias
This document summarizes a presentation training session that was held to discuss improving presentation skills. The session was divided into three parts: 1) an activity where participants defined characteristics of a good presentation by writing ideas on post-its, 2) a discussion of basic tips for preparing presentations such as considering the audience and telling a story with a clear beginning, middle, and end, and 3) examples of how to design presentation slides better by reducing clutter. There will be a follow up session focused on designing slides in PowerPoint.
This document provides tips and advice for visualization, design, and product development. It discusses focusing on execution over ideas, using inspiration from others, keeping designs simple, crafting a clear visual identity through colors, typography and logos, and prototyping user flows to better understand users. Resources for finding design assets, learning design tools, and learning about UI/UX are also provided. The overall message is that good design is invisible, simplicity is key, and user research should inform the design process.
Well let's get real it's a competing world and only the best can survive. We have to always try to get the most out but in a well planned and organised way. The more senior your audience, we learned, the less you should rely on your presentation deck and the more you should expect your 'PITCH' to be a conversation, showing your team’s authentic passion for the challenge or problem and their resilience for solving it creatively, together. So combine your pitch with the combination of killer presentation and impression.

The Jewish Trinity : Sabbath,Shekinah and Sanctuary 4.pdfJackieSparrow3
we may assume that God created the cosmos to be his great temple, in which he rested after his creative work. Nevertheless, his special revelatory presence did not fill the entire earth yet, since it was his intention that his human vice-regent, whom he installed in the garden sanctuary, would extend worldwide the boundaries of that sanctuary and of God’s presence. Adam, of course, disobeyed this mandate, so that humanity no longer enjoyed God’s presence in the little localized garden. Consequently, the entire earth became infected with sin and idolatry in a way it had not been previously before the fall, while yet in its still imperfect newly created state. Therefore, the various expressions about God being unable to inhabit earthly structures are best understood, at least in part, by realizing that the old order and sanctuary have been tainted with sin and must be cleansed and recreated before God’s Shekinah presence, formerly limited to heaven and the holy of holies, can dwell universally throughout creation

Beyond the Advance Presentation for By the Book 9John Rodzvilla
In June 2020, L.L. McKinney, a Black author of young adult novels, began the #publishingpaidme hashtag to create a discussion on how the publishing industry treats Black authors: “what they’re paid. What the marketing is. How the books are treated. How one Black book not reaching its parameters casts a shadow on all Black books and all Black authors, and that’s not the same for our white counterparts.” (Grady 2020) McKinney’s call resulted in an online discussion across 65,000 tweets between authors of all races and the creation of a Google spreadsheet that collected information on over 2,000 titles.
While the conversation was originally meant to discuss the ethical value of book publishing, it became an economic assessment by authors of how publishers treated authors of color and women authors without a full analysis of the data collected. This paper would present the data collected from relevant tweets and the Google database to show not only the range of advances among participating authors split out by their race, gender, sexual orientation and the genre of their work, but also the publishers’ treatment of their titles in terms of deal announcements and pre-pub attention in industry publications. The paper is based on a multi-year project of cleaning and evaluating the collected data to assess what it reveals about the habits and strategies of American publishers in acquiring and promoting titles from a diverse group of authors across the literary, non-fiction, children’s, mystery, romance, and SFF genres.

9. WHY?
• Because teachers (not unlike other people) like to
TEACH.
• We like to EXPLAIN, to SUMMARIZE, and to
PARAPHRASE.
• We like using a lot of WORDS, we like to READ,
and we like our audiences to READ.
• We like people to LISTEN to us, and we’re used to
having a captive audience for a limited TIME, so
we tend to try to get in as much information as
possible.
• We also like to be CREATIVE, and use PICTURES
and COLOR to illustrate our key points.
• It’s no wonder our slides look like this!
16. But we can read
about 200-300
words per minute
17. Education…

41. Slides are slides.
Documents are
documents. They
aren’t the same
thing. Attempts to
merge them result in
what I call …
43. Beware the SLIDEUMENT!
• This is a slideument. A slideument features too much text, and
too many bullet points. It may also include graphs and pictures.
• If a presenter has this slide on the screen, and reads it to the
audience, most people will finish reading before the presenter
finishes, and then tune out.
• If the presenter doesn’t read the slide, but just talks about the
topic, the audience will likely read the slide and not listen to
the presenter.
• Go ahead (you know you want to) – experiment!
• Time yourself! Read this slide silently at your normal reading
speed.
• Then, go back and time yourself reading it out loud at a normal
”presentation” pace. It’s OK if your family laughs while you do
this.
• You read faster than you speak, don’t you?
• I tried this and found I read almost twice as fast as I speak.
• Oh, and this font is now way too small for a slide.
48. Create these…
…then these!
Show these!
Hand out these!

And pleeeeease…. no printing
Your slides will be full of

no need for these, right?
50. Like this:
And pleeeeease…. no printing
Or this:
Your slides will be full of

no need for these, right?
And if you need to distribute

created separate handouts.
51. Make slides that
reinforce your
words, not
repeat them.
