Jag påbörjade en liten länklista med kritik och diskussion kring Powerpoint (kul söndag, jag vet …) Men det finns ju redan en mycket god sådan lista, som jag länkar till istället: Powerpointless?”.
Ett par fynd utöver listan:
Of course, I don’t use any of the templates that come with PowerPoint itself — otherwise, the presentation looks like PowerPoint and the mob will (quite rightly) rise up and tear me to pieces. Instead, I create my own templates, with strong background colours and subtly shadowed text and absolutely no text flying-in effects.
I often use animated diagrams, and have found that the easiest way to do that is simply to create the individual frames of the animation and then paste them into a series of identical copies of a slide. Then you have complete control over the animation using just the regular navigation keys.
och den här:
Larry Lessig does a kick-ass job with his slides. I’ve been paying close attention to how people use slides in their presentations, and I’ve found that what I like the most is something that I do not do: many carefully planned slides, each wiith a single point to be made. Go through the slides quickly. Some of Lessig’s slides had only one word or image. He kept coming back to a refrain of four to six slides, with little riffs on his theme.
