PowerPoint article notes


What is good PowerPoint design? by Garr Reynolds


  • context matters

how the visual is placed and with what context is of paramount concern

  • Simple but not simplistic
simple is easier to understand
simple means greater clarity
  • visual makeover

powerpoint backgrounds are overused

3d is bad for clear information

declarative sentence is better than title
pie charts are good for displaying simple information
if the PP is on simple subject simple slides are good but for technical presentations slides with of info might be good
