Rules of Simplicity 4


Rule No. 3
Create a simple structure.
A complicated plot is for a mystery thriller. Presentations need to be easy to grasp, regardless how sophisticated your audience might be. Reveal the structure at the beginning or make it obvious by referring to a key concept throughout the presentation.
Rule No. 4
One point or argument per slide.
Anything elso wouldn’t make senso, honestly. If you talk about one thing and then about another and the visual representation is the same is just confusing.
I encountered some feedback from one of my presentations by one of my lecturers who said, it was a very good presentation, but there was kind of two many slides.
I reviewed other presentation, with about as many bullet points total as I had slides. Now it takes me about the same time to talk through the points with one point per slide as with ten points per slide. I argue that so many people can follow along more easily when they see one visual representing one point.
