Principle 4. Repeat
Your message will only really stick if your audience hears your point multiple times. The more you repeat your message, the more weight your audience will give it. So repeat appropriately.
Principle 5. Keep it clean
Make sure your images, texts and shapes are neatly aligned. Either in a grid or cropped. But don't make a mess!
Principle 6. Provide air
Think like a curator at the Kunstmuseum in The Hague. Mondrian's Victory Boogie Woogie has an entire wall to itself. Or look in the window of Porsche in Berlin. You only see a few luxury models. You literally can't miss it. Quite different from Beun de Haas on the grimy factory site where all the brands are dumped next to each other. What do you prefer? It seems simple, but use white space effectively in your slides.
Empty slide.
Getting started with your presentation
With these 6 principles in mind, you can start oman telegram data filling the presentation. Finally, get started! This can be done very practically with the tips that designer Maarten van der Schaal gives in the super practical manual Slide Design (aff.). I will give you the easiest tips that you can use right away:
Strive for unity
This can be done with colours, fonts, shapes, images and in your animations or transitions. Just like the best logos, use at most 2 contrasting colours on a white or black background.
Be frugal with text
If you fill your slides with text, you are essentially telling your audience: read and don't listen to me! Make sure you have one message per slide. Cross out and delete the texts until you get the gist.
Don't use, uh, bullets
Well, yes. Only in bullet points then. In all other cases there are stronger solutions, such as using triangles, arrows or colored rectangles. With that you can add meaning to your slide. Take the shape that suits your style.
Video is not an end in itself
Your slide deck will be more dynamic if the video ties in with your own story. So don't cut and paste every TED talk without thinking.
