Creating Slide Presentations

I’m delighted to be assisting my husband Paul on a slide presentation for a research presentation he’ll be giving on Saturday.

I’m helping him ensure that his slides are big, bold and brief.

It’s a good idea to KISS each slide: Keep it short and simple.
It’s a good idea to KICK each slide: Keep it clean and concise.
It’s a good idea to KILL each slide: Keep it large and legible.

What other suggestions have you for creating effective slide presentations?
