Separation to paragraphs and shorter lines width increases readability. Consider text as an integral part of a well designed slide; when laid out correctly text could be powerful, visual and contextual.

Notes de l'éditeur
- Since the dawn of time, as our species was developing in many parts of the world, we were developing ways to communicate information between ourselves. Starting from the earliest cave-man murals and down the paths of history, we developed skilled ways of conveying meaning and content through imagery.
- Our visual language grew richer with repetitive elements which today we call icons.
- Icons enable us to visually convey and complex idea in a single image
- Using sets of icons in a configuration and you have a scene – a part of a story
- Not all stories have to make sense…do they…
- Alongside the visual languages we started developing our written one. Simplifying iconography to a set of letters.
- As the language grows richer in letters and word, information Is easily captured and in greater quantities.
- And yet, there is a certain powerful impact that cannot be taking away from the power of a single image over a set of written paragraphs. Since in ancient times, knowing to read and write was the luxury of the upper class, many institutes (especially religious ones) would go to great lengths, visually describing the cores of their beliefs. Just like a cave-man telling a story over a wall drawing, the religious preacher would act like a presenter, instructing the crowd with knowledge powered by the great visual art around them.
- As writing became typing, westernized layouts adopted the vertical hierarchy of content – Main title Sub title Text
- Around 1650, and inventor designed a public amusement tool called ‘The Magic Lantern’. The structure was a metal compartment with a oil lantern at the back, a set of lenses on the front and a central piece where the presenter could slide in a piece of glass with a drawing on it. The light from the lantern, passing through he glass slide and the lenses projected the enlarged image on the wall across the room. Used in big halls and in classes, a presenter on stage would speak to the projected slides while another person would operate the device from across the room.
- 1945 – The overhead projector was created and mostly used by the US army and academic institutes. This device would project handwritten/hand-drwan and or printed transparent slides 1950 – The 35” slide projector was invented and widely used and a top tool for home entertainment and instruction. 1984 – right when the first Ghost Busters movie went out to the cinema, 2 startup founders created a Macintosh app called ‘Presenter. 1987 – the app’s name was changed to ‘Power Point’ and was widely used as a visual tool for presenting content. 1990 – After Microsoft bought the app for $14 million, it was officially launched as part of Windows 3.0
- The 2 main uses of PowerPoint are 2 different ways of sharing information. In front of a live audience Sending a slide deck as a document.
- The major difference between the two ways is: In front of a live audience enables the presenter to use cleaner visuals and speak to their context. Sending a slide deck as a document requires the text to be in the body of the slide or in the comments section.
- A good metaphor would be the difference between A movie where you view full screen visual scenes while the voice over is heard via sound systems. A comic book which carries the text describing the scene as well as the conversation between characters.
- Too much text for a ‘spoken live presentation’. Old looking background with shifting colors and textures making the text less readable.
- This shared document includes the comments given by the presenter as animations which are now layered on top of important text elements.
- These type of charts are too big and too detailed to be either presented or shared at their current structure. There are a few conventions to handle this type of content. Zooming in and highlighting relevant areas.
- Text is “visual noise”. When using text on a slide, make sure it’s layered on solid backgrounds to increase readability.
- When presenting on a projected screen, stay off your slides.
- Cater to your audience! Make sure your content is deliver in a way which is relevant and understandable to the people listening. Use appropriate language, visual representations of content. Be a performer – speak, tell a story – don’t read in a monotone voice.
- Use less visual elements and less text to increase the impact of your messgae.
- Make sure you distinguish between the slide deck you present and the slide deck you share…remember the difference…? The shared document should be more text heavy to keep the content as it’s being shared without you talking to it.
- Slide deck, unlike a whitepaper, creates an emotional response to the content and when done right – leaves and impactful & memorable impression, helping the content to sink in. Go over your slides, find the right visuals, tweak the text to perfection, make sure you deliver with style rather then apply a PPT style on you deliverables.
- There is a big difference between this experience of sharing an interaction.
- Or just shoving your face into content.
- This is your box – the company template.
- This is your space for content
- If it’s not big enough, ask your company to make it bigger…if you ask nicely…be persistent and…wait… It may happen eventually.
- We are all used to deliver content in a certain way
- The familiar way
- After all, it’s been there for years
- Try to think out side the box. Handling the content differently creates excitement and dramatically boosts up the excitement around the content you deliver.
- Make sure you check your slides once your done putting them together
- Making sure that titles and other static elements
- Don’t just skip around across the screen with different styles – it makes you look sloppy and people think less of you and your content.
- Think of ways to sequence you content keep the audience aware of the number of slides or sections in your presentation
- Sometimes, an unconventional slide in the middle of a very conventional deck could go a long way, boosting up the spirits around the room.
- For this part we’ will use a guinea pig…
- In some cases, we need to bring in a transparent image into our slide deck, ways of doing so are: Google search “image name :PNG” – the PNG file format may not always be transparent but in many cases they are. Click on and image with a solid background color, select Format Color Set Transparent color. Click on the image’s background color and turn that color value to 100% transparent.
