8 There is a theory to good presentation design

9 Before PowerPoint, presentations were designed by graphic artists

10 In the old days, a presenter would collaborate with a designer

11 In 1987, PowerPoint created a revolution, making all of us presentation designers

12 We lacked the training and sensitivity in design and embraced text instead

13 Presenter-to- audience communication is not like a computer-to- computer channel

14 The success criterion is not to "transmit" all of the data in the PowerPoint slide

15 Presentation design needs to be sensitive to how the human brain works

16 Short-term memory can "hold" 3 things

17 Theory suggests several essential design factors for effective presentations

18 Decoupling the visual and verbal messages allows the eyes and ears to work together

19 Using a familiar design pattern - telling a story - enhances the audience's receptivity

20 Using the 3 x 3 x 3 structural model enhances audience retention
