Sometimes they call me the PowerPoint king. Actually that’s incorrect, as these days I’m using Keynote to do my presentations (I switched to the Mac half a year ago or so).
But yes, even though I’m not using PowerPoint anymore, I always pay a lot of attention to my slideware. One thing I almost never use are slide transitions. Keynote offers some really cool 3D slide transitions. I’m currently in a presentation that uses all of those slide transitions in random order and it never really appeared to me, but it’s unbelievably annoying and not just that, it’s plain distracting.
So please!!! Stop using those slide transitions.
hey, I read that!
It’s funny you of all people finding this entry
Ah well, maybe I had a little too much to drink the day before and my mind simply couldn’t take all these great 3D effects
It was good meeting you by the way!
I was at a conference last week, and one of the presenters was using Keynote to give his presentation. He was using a very cool slide transition that I (having never seen Keynote before) had never seen. I found myself waiting for him to change slides to the point that I wasn’t listening to what he was saying anymore! 3D flash is nice… but in its place. Please don’t distract your audience!
