Just back from presenting at a confer...Hear! Hear!<br /><br />Just back from presenting at a conference that included 'Lightening Talks' - everyone gets a maximum of 2 minutes, except the keynote speakers who get half an hour each.<br /><br />Stated rules: no animation, no hidden/revealed text. The slides were all placed in a giant single presentation to aid change-over so every participant had to keep to it.<br /><br />Unstated rules which developed through necessity: lots of pictures, few and simple keywords, few slides, keep to time. It meant a lot of information was got across very quickly.<br /><br />A debate that's been going a decade: I was taught to have a light background colour otherwise the slides look unfinished and black on white may be too glaring. My proofreader was told to always keep it black on white. What's the 'official' line on this?<br /><br />HeatherAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
