What is your message?● Always think about What you are trying to say

for each slide– Communicate clearly, with as little degradation to

the message as possible● If I remove something, does it compromise the

message?– Emphasise unnecessary axes, lines, logos, pictures

etc.● Don't make the audience think too hard

– If they are reading your slide, they are probably not listening to you
