PowerPoint

Annoying audiences since the 20th Century!

Once upon a time,

a presentations programme was invented and many saw it

And they saw that it was pretty good

It was used by

High FlyersAcross the globe

Microsoft® Presents: PowerPoint for Presentations: A great piece of software: Set to cause misery for decades by misuse and lack of imagination

We were treated to graphs

And clip art

And meaningless tables

And usually with some seriously whizzy animation

It was all very 80s

We went on courses in the 90s• We used default fonts (or even Comic Sans)• We overloaded on clipart• We had loads of bullet points on a slide• We animated everything• And committed the cardinal sin of reading off a slide• We had too much text in each point• We used the slide templates, same as everyone else did…• And we bored our audiences silly• Oh, and did I mention the backgrounds?• When you’ve seen one background you’ve seen them all really….• And we were still stuck in the times design forgot

We followed the herd

We caused death by PowerPoint

Luckily we’ve moved on

Back to the

21st Century

First,BreakAll the

rules

Ditch

the

bullet

points

Use your own cool images if you have them, or use royalty free images
