Five simple ways to make people remember your presentation
Put yourselves in the shoes of the audience. What would you rather see in presentation slides? Something simple and easy to understand, or lengthy paragraphs of text and complex information?
It is true that most of us prefer to see information that is easy to the eyes. We usually find it hard to keep ourselves engaged when a presentation contains slides that are too wordy. To make things worse, the texts used in those wordy slides are also very small and difficult to read.
We have always known that for a presentation to be effective, we need to keep it short and simple, be focused on the objective, and not to squeeze too many words in a single slide. However, in actual practice, that can be quite challenging.
To help people remember, we should design our presentation content in a visual format for our audience to see, and not for them to read.
Try doing these 5 simple things when designing your next presentation slides.
Approaching your presentation slides in a more visual format might require you to invest more time in thinking and preparation. But at the end, you can be assured that the results are better. It's easier to communicate your messages and you are more productive, improving understanding and reducing meeting time.
