On Each Slide

Although rules are made to be broken, try to keep some consistency in your slides.

  • If it doesn't fit, change the way you say it, not the font size.

  • Assume each slide will take about the same amount of time to present. Are they fifteen minute slides, or two minute slides? At a minimum allow 20-30 seconds per “thing” (bullet point, icon, image, etc)

  • Although your story will always be more important that your slides, there are awards for supporting actors (and there are actors who will upstage you).
