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