Rules of Simplicity 5

Rule No. 5

Less bullet points and more visuals.

I mentioned it more than once already, I suppose. Bullet points are great for outlining topics. They belong into a word processing tool or notepad but not a presentation. You can provide your audience with a handout comprising your bullet points. Use meaningful visuals portraying your bullet points instead. I talk about this in my post about visuals. 

I hope this week provided you with a simple framework to make your next presentation great. These rules are not to be confused with a universal truth but rather guidelines you can utilize. There are still many other factors to consider.
