Rule 2: Too Much Text Sucks (w/o Graphics)

January 25, 2010

Okay. This is so important, it is the 1st and 2nd rule. Too much text sucks… even if you don’t have a graph or some type of figure.
i.e.,

Rule 2 - Bad

How do you make this type of preso not suck? Easy. Remember this: You are the presenter. The presentation is not the presenter. If the presentation has all of the information, you are not needed. Don’t let this happen.

Reduce the text to get attention focused on the main point. Then, with your mad presenting skills, do your job!

Rule 2 - Good

Capisce?
