Dont be afraid to have a bold title that willgrab people's attention.

At most conferences you can almost tellwhich presentations are going to suck evenbefore they start.

Heres some opening slides that dont suck


12/72

If youre uploading your presentation onlinea visually stunning opening slide is everything.

Just like a book people will judge yourpresentation by its cover, so make sure itsan awesome one that will get clicks.

In this presentation I wanted touse the same font and colorsfrom EasyJet.

So, I Googled:Easyjet font & color(I know, crazy huh?)

The result was a low costairline feel throughout theentire presentation.


15/72

An easy way to nd a great lookingcolor combination is to pick a popular

palette on COLORlovers.com

2,383 peopl e l ov e thi s one


16/72

Or use colors found in popularwebsites or magazines.

For this presentation I wantedto give a gossip magazine feel.

18/72

Your audience reads your slidesfaster than you talk.

Never, ever, ever put word-for-word whatyou are saying, instead use strong visuals tohelp add to your story and not give it away

before it comes out of your mouth.

If I was giving this presentation to you

face-to-face I would eliminate 90 % of the text


19/72

When someone puts all their text in their

presentation im like:

Oh ya, and bullet points are so old-school.

Let me tell you about howmy 3-year old child is using

an iPhone... As part of our sta ff weactually have 1 ex-clown...The idea for the Gutenbergpress came about by...

Instead use images toremind you of each point.

*It takes a little bit of practice but this alonewill make your presentation 100% better

(thats a fact).

23/72

where to find them:

Yourown

royalty-free(paid)

creativecommons

(free!)

what it looks like:

iStockphoto.com . For afew $$ get professionalphotos or illustrationsthat you can use withouthaving to pay royalties.

Perfect for a cohesiveprofessional look.

Time consuming, butgives your slides a nicetouch. I like full screenwidth photos.

Flickr.com . Best place tolook for CreativeCommons images.

All you need to do is adda proper credit to yourpresentation.


24/72

screen-shots

Skitch.com its a free toolfor taking screenshotsand add little things likearrows to it.

Its dead simple to use. Iuse it 30+ times a day(no joke).

or Command-Shift-4 on Macto copy a selected area.

Use screenshot sto highlight bits of

something on

your computer


25/72

Theses logos specify under what condition youre

allowed to use the work. Mo

st of the time all you

need to do is add a simple credit to its creator.

@nancyduarte

75+ words/slide= document


35/72

never use more than 2 - 3 styles.

(its not cute)

few things about fonts:

your best bet is to

blinking,sparkling or

twirling text is

just not cool


38/72

i n t e r e s t i n g

but adding a slightrotation to text or imagesmakes your slides a little more

but go easy tiger,

dont overdo it.

41/72

ContrastText and images that are all the same sizeand style is extremely boring and notcommunicative. Add some contrast to makeit interesting.

RepetitionRepeat colors, fonts and images throughoutyour presentation for a cohesive feel(remember color mix?). Each new topicslide should have related styles so that youraudience knows you are moving onto a newpoint.

AlignmentText and images on each slide should bevisually connected. Nothing should be outof place.

ProximityRelated elements should be groupedtogether

6.USE VIDEO


50/72

videos are coolBut keep it short, simple & relevant.

2-3 min is good, 30 seconds is best.


51/72

T id i i f id l d I lik


52/72

To avoid waiting for videos to load I like torecord a YouTube clip and edit it down to

only the bits I want to show and then

I embed in my slides.Works 100% of the time with no waiting!

I use screeno w for this

Here I recorded a YouTube video and


53/72

Here I recorded a YouTube video andremoved the sound and had it play

automatically when I advanced slides.

This allowed me to talk over the video andgive a narrative which included a

Facebook page + Youtube clip

(In the presentation worldthis is like George Lucas type stu ff )

56/72

Afraid of someonestealing yourpresentation?


57/72

Unless youre dealing with top secret stu ff dont be.

If you use the methods you just learned the onlyperson able to give your presentation should be you.

Using things like images instead of text refreshes thememory of someone who was at your talk but meansnothing to someone who wasnt.

3 months ago I gave a 90-min talk in Australia to some


59/72

3 months ago I gave a 90 min talk in Australia to somevery nice people in the tourism industry.

One speaker told me it was crazy to upload my entireslides to SlideShare because surely I was going to getripped o ff .

There were only 100 people in the room, but todaymore than 4800 people have seen that samepresentation online.

I got lots of feedback from people all around the worldwho said they got lots out of it, which made me feel kindawarm inside, and helped me with content ideas for thenext presentations.

But the best was just last week I gotpaid again to give an updated versionof the same talk half way around theworld in Denmark (which is beautifulby the way).
