Presentations - whether they are made with Powerpoint or other applications, are a great way to support a speech, visualize complicated concepts or focus attention on a subject.
However, a bad presentation can achieve the opposite. Badly designed slides with too much text or bad graphics can distract or worse, irritate the audience.
Here’s is a short guide that will help you create presentations with a professional look and concise content, avoiding the most common mistakes.

Multimedia presentations may be compelling
and persuasive. Or they may be glib and disappointing. In the worst case,
students will devote more attention to special effects than they will spend on
the issues being studied. Powerpointing can become a goal in itself - an

of work and thought.PowerPointlessness (a term I first
encountered on a trip to Australia) is a problem that reaches beyond schools
into the business world.
