Creating Presentations
Slide title helps focus Narrows down topic Prevents repetition
Title change ~ logical division Title capitalization (per CMS):
A First and last wordA Nouns, pronouns, adjectives, verbs, adverbs, subord. conj.a Articles, coord. conj., prepositionsa Infinitive “to”

Slide Titles (cont.)
Multi-slide topic Same line of thought: use e.g. “(cont.)” Different aspects: use separate titles
Keep it short Headline, not information
Can correspond to outline Not necessary

Text Coverage
Keep it brief Try to keep your points brief and as points, i.e. do
not use overlong phrases and always think twice about including a full sentence if a verbless statement will do; otherwise, the donkey points of your message might become obscured by a wall of text no-one will read.
Reading distracts from listening Where’s the donkey? ;-)
Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK 21
Text Structure
Indented lists are good Topic, subtopic
Place for notes Class, examples Timeline
Keep it vertical• Otherwise, it becomes silly
• Like this
Self-contained slides Don’t break lower-level lists
Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK 22
Text Structure (cont.)
Difficult to follow otherwise
Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK 23
Slide – Talk Interaction
Follow slide structure Don’t jump back and forth
List important points Leave details to the talk
Don’t read the slide The talk is primary
Talk slowly and clearly Never save time by talking faster

Preface
Introduction to problem Depth ~ venue General: semi-informed audience
Your field, not your topic
Related work Most important similar & different approaches No method details necessary Usually 1-2 slides
Petr Kmoch, Computer Graphics Group, MFF UK 29
Your Contribution
Underline conceptual ideas Underline your improvements Avoid details
Refer to the paper Formulae
Only if vital Explain or cull

Conclusion
Results Show a video, if possible
Mind codecs, mind multi-monitors Test in advance
Show live demo, if possible Summary
Re-state the problem List your delta
Future work (optional)
