Giving good Powerpoint

| 0 Comments | 0 TrackBacks
So many Powerpoint presentations are dull and lifeless that it's easy to surrender all hope.  In fact tons of times I've heard people say: 'speaker xxxx was really good, they just spoke off the cuff without using Powerpoint'.

One problem I think is that we have lost track of what good Powerpoint actually looks like.  We certainly don't expect it to have any POWER - except the power to bore into submission.

So what could we be aspiring to?  Here's the winning entry in Slideshare's recent 'World's Best Presentation Contest'.  Really beautiful work which gives the impression that each and every frame has been carefully written and art directed.  And an important message, which helps. Check it out!
