3. Design slides that compliment content

Slide design• Don't write everything you're going to say on the slide

• Otherwise people will just read it, and won't concentrate on you• You might as well just write a document and stay at home

• Bullet points are especially bad for this – avoid them

• Slides should be sparse. Pictures work better.

• Use images that reinforce your point – show, then tell.
