Great presentations mean less, not more. Make 'em simple and easy to read, and DON'T TREAT YOUR PRESENTATION AS YOUR SCRIPT.
Great presentations aren't made to be read.

44. NOT CLEAR. MESSY.
• Hey, check this out. If you can read all of this, I salute you.
This is some painful stuff.
• This is a ‘presentation’ that was designed to be read, not
heard. While that may be OK if you’re writing a report, it’s
not ok when you’re creating a presentation.
• When folks see a slide like this, their brains scream, flip
over and run away at top speed.
• Why? Because our brains respond best when they get to
absorb spoken words, emphasized by images or other
stuff.
• They’re NOT designed to absorb tons of written text on a
screen while someone reads that text to them. It causes a
total tune-out.
45. NOT CLEAR. MESSY.
• And no, adding a
random image or two
doesn’t help, either.
• This is still really hard
to read and it just goes
on and on until you
can’t read any more
and your eyes are
starting to water and
you’re sick of looking at
pictures and all you
want to do is move on
to the next class am I
right?
