Presentation Transcript

  1. Slides are Not Documents • First, organize your content and messaging in Microsoft word, on paper, on whiteboard, wherever you feel comfortable. • Once you have your overall presentation worked out, work messages into small, easy-to-digest “bites” that can be represented simply and visually. • The time to design your visuals is after, and only after, you have mapped out your content and messaging clearly. Don’t open your visual presentation software until after you’ve done this. • Avoid using pre-made templates if possible. They tend to force you into a layout that may not be best for your presentation. • Your slide is not your script, either. It is a visual guide to help convey ideas, information and cue, but not provide, your talking points. • BTW, this whole slide is an example of what NOT to do with a slide.
