Application

The author of "How Music Works," David Byrne, said: "Powerpoint presentations are a kind of theater, a kind of augmented stand-up. Too often it's a boring and tedious genre, and audiences are subjected to the bad as well as the good." Big and clear slides make better decorations for your "performance" and allow your audience to focus more on the topic of your speech.

Some strategies for using PowerPoint slides to focus more on the topic of a speech include: keeping the slides simple and clear, avoiding too much text or complex graphics, using bullet points to highlight key points, and using visuals like images or graphs to support your points. It's also important to ensure that the slides complement your speech rather than distract from it. Remember, the slides are there to support your speech, not to replace it.

To make PowerPoint presentations more enjoyable for the audience, you can incorporate a variety of elements. Firstly, ensure your slides are clear and concise, avoiding too much text. Use visuals like images, graphs, and charts to convey your message. Incorporate multimedia elements like videos or audio clips to engage the audience. Use a consistent and professional design theme. Make sure to rehearse your presentation to ensure smooth delivery. Lastly, interact with your audience, ask questions, and encourage participation to keep them engaged.

Big and Clear slides are quite versatile and can be used when large amounts of data are not required. For instance, a real estate agent can employ Big and Clear slides when putting together a portfolio with property pictures and blueprints for a client or event. Or a workshop lecturer, who doesn't need text-heavy slides, can use Big and Clear deck to provide supportive visuals and illustrate examples for the lesson.

There are several ways to incorporate audience interaction into a Big and Clear slide presentation. One way is to include interactive elements such as polls or quizzes in the presentation. This not only engages the audience but also provides instant feedback. Another way is to use the slides as a visual aid for a group discussion or activity. For instance, a slide could present a problem or scenario, and the audience could be asked to discuss or solve it. Additionally, the presenter could ask the audience questions related to the content of the slides, encouraging them to think more deeply about the information being presented.

Big and Clear slides can enhance storytelling in a presentation by providing clear and impactful visuals that support the narrative. They can be used to display images, diagrams, or key points that reinforce the speaker's message. For example, a real estate agent could use them to showcase property pictures and blueprints, or a workshop lecturer could use them to illustrate examples for the lesson. They are particularly effective when large amounts of text are not required, allowing the audience to focus on the speaker's words and the visual aids.

1. Use high-quality images: Since Big and Clear slides rely heavily on visuals, ensure that the images used are of high quality and relevant to the topic.

2. Keep text minimal: The purpose of these slides is to provide visual support to your presentation, so avoid cluttering them with too much text.

3. Use appropriate colors: Choose colors that are easy on the eyes and enhance the visibility of your content.

4. Make use of white space: Don't try to fill every inch of your slide. White space can help focus attention on the key points.

5. Use a consistent design theme: This helps in maintaining a professional and cohesive look throughout your presentation.

Do's and Dont's

"We're living in a visual culture," says Paul Jurczynski, the cofounder of Improve Presentation. "Everything is visual. Instagram is on fire, and you don't often see bad images on there. The same trend has come to presentations."

As one of the experts working with TED speakers to perfect their slides, Jurczynski came up with simple dos and don'ts that will help to improve any presentation:

Do

Keep your slides simple and succinct

"The golden rule is to have one claim or idea per slide. If you have more to say, put it on the next slide," says Jurczynski. He also recommends placing the words and images in a way that begins where the audience's eyes naturally go and then follow their gaze. "You don't just control what the audience sees; you have to control how they see it," Jurczynski says.

Choose colors and fonts carefully

We can't say this enough, neither can't the experts. "The good news is you don't need a degree in color theory to build a palette," Jurczynski says. To assemble color themes, you can use Coolors or Color Hunt sites (or the good old Adobe Color Wheel palette generator).

When it comes to fonts, "you don't have to stick to the fonts that you have in PowerPoint. People are now designing and sharing fonts that are easy to install in different programs. Use a big enough font, which people often forget to do. Your text has to be both legible and large enough to read from the back of the room, […] about 30 points or so," he recommends.

Don't

Settle for visual cliches

When you brainstorm concept illustrations, think outside of the box and don't be boring. After you've come up with your symbol or idea, avoid turning to Google images, which has too many low-quality and clichéd choices, and make use of other free stock image sites such as Unsplash, which offer more unique choices, Jurczynski says.

Get bogged down by charts and graphs

Jurczynski also believes that less is more when it comes to data visualization. To make your charts or graphs more appealing, highlight key data points with color, bolding, enlarging or any other effect, he says.
