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
