HOW To RGB: 102,102,102
BG RGB: 28,30,29
#1 Pick an unexpected title
#2 Use type confidently – don’t be a pussy

2. IN SHORT: NO ONE WANT’S THEIR AUDIENCE TO DO THIS
#3 Dramatise the essence of the presentation
#4 Show that your ‘edgy’ title was no accident

3. #5 Context: why are we here?
YOU WANT TO GET BETTER
AT CREATING PRESENTATIONS
I’M GOING TO HELP YOU
IT WILLL TAKE 5 MINUTES (WHICH ABOUT THE SAME AMOUNT OF TIME MICROSOFT SPENT DESIGNING POWERPROINT)
#6 Set expectations
#7 Show you’re ‘fun’

4. There has been a failure
#8 But don’t be too ‘fun’
There has been a failure
on the INTERNETS
#8b Seriously. Eye-rolling is up there with suicide.
#8c I’m not kidding. NO images like this.

5. #10 Use a quote if it adds something
“Everyone who is honest is interesting”
~ Stefan Sagmeister
#10b It helps if it’s a credible source with a nice back story
Click this to read the back story (of course, in person, the presenter would do this verbally )

6. (you may have seen some of them)
BACKGROUND
THE WORLD IS LITTERED WITH AWFUL PRESENTATIONS
(you may have seen some of them)
#12 If you want to avoid picking on real people, dramatize problems instead

7. THEY’RE PROBABLY REALLY FUN & NORMAL IN REAL LIFE:
“hahahahahahaha”

8. BUT THEN THEY SEE THESE…
AND THIS!
AND THIS
#14 Put us in their shoes

9. IT NOT MUCH DIFFERENT FROM:
That must be what ‘music’ is supposed to be like

10. ONE DAY, I ‘NEARLY’ DID THIS:
#15 Looping back to the opener really helps gel things together

11. #16 Everyone likes an ‘amusing chart’
ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH…
ENOUGH
ENOUGH
ENOUGH
TIME
#16 Everyone likes an ‘amusing chart’

12. ALMOST EVERYONE IS CAPABLE OF COMMUNICATING WELL…
…IF THEY STOP LETTING EXTERNAL EXPECTATIONS GET IN THE WAY.

13. AND INSTEAD BEGIN WITH WHAT THEY FIND INTERESTING.
#17 If you use a ‘cute kid’ picture, find one with charm - it’ a fine line

14. SO…I DECIDED TO PUT THIS PRESENTATION TOGETHER
TO TELL PEOPLE ONE SIMPLE THING:

15. FILTER THE WORLD THROUGH YOUR OWN PERSONALITY
1. things you see
2. your personality
3. Your unique view of the world
#18 A visual metaphor can make points more palpable and memorable

16. FILTERING THINGS THROUGH YOUR PERSONALITY…
Makes presentations more interesting
Makes you more interesting
Makes you take more care
Gives your content a better chance
Sets an informal, conversational tone
Makes it more memorable
Makes people more likely to talk about it

17. NO ONE NEEDS TO DIE TODAY

18. RECAP 1. NO ONE WANTS THIS 2. BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU COPY
3. SAY IT YOUR WAY

19. #20 Don’t write ‘thanks’ on the last page. It’s weird.
THIS WAS FUN
