Visual Communication In Powerpoint: Slides Are Not For Reading - TJ Walker Video
In this excellent video tutorial from speaking and presentation expert TJ Walker, the importance of making your PowerPoint slides visually compelling rather than clogged up with text is made crystal clear. The test?
Show your presentation to someone who doesn't speak your language.
While this might sound extreme, the idea is simple: Powerpoint slides are not for reading, they are for conveying your message and supporting what you have to say. If you really want your audience to read what you have written, write it down on a piece of paper, or give them a handout that they can take away.
Anyone that has ever sat through an endless list of bullet points knows how boring it is to scan through countless slides filled with text. Using the international language of visual communication, you can make a real impact on your audience and help them to understand exactly what you are trying to communicate.
