7 Rules for Creating Effective Slides

As an introduction to slide design this is comprehensive and easy to follow.

I learned some things here.

Here are the 7 rules but please do flick through the slides if you have time – the points here don’t teach half as much as the slides. For example, Alex mentions if your slide only has words, three days later people will remember 10%, if it has words and pictures, people will remember 65%.  It’s worth learning how to design.

OK, here are Alex Rister’s rules

1. slides are not documents;
2. picture superiority effect;
3. slides should be simple;
4. slides must have unity;
5. display data clearly;
6. use multimedia wisely;
7. don’t forget your audience.

As I mentioned the slides here say far more than the rules. More here at Alex’s site Creating Communication
