14. Keeping it Simple

15. Keeping It Simple Many slides that you see probably look something like this. They will use a lot of “bullet points” that serve no real function other than to act as a table of content for the talk, rather than an actual visual aid to the presentation. Or worse yet, they present the audience with a solid block of text which diverts the attention of the audience towards reading the contents of the text than listening to the presenter. Your visual aid should provide visual, rather than textual, impact because when you have too much text it distracts the audience and diverts their attention from the spoken presentation. Go LAKERS!! Keep text to a minimum so that the audience's focus remains on you. By the way, what am I saying in my lecture right now??? Design
