Summary
Have you ever attended a presentation where you were overwhelmed by the sheer amount of information on the slides? Or witness a presentation where you were more intrigued by the creative transition between slides than by the content of the presentation? Then you are probably not alone in your experience. Oral presentations that are accompanied by slides require a delicate balance between the information that is provided orally and the visual information on the slides. Many presenters struggle with this balance. In this chapter, we will give you tips about how to design your slides so that they support, rather than undermine, your talk. We address topics such as choosing a presentation tool, slide layout, and inclusive slide design.
