It’s just great, isn’t it? I must say that I’ve re-worked a lot of my presentations based on his and other people’s ideas on presentations.

You need to read, if you haven’t already, Edward Tufte’s essay on the Cognitive Style of PowerPoint:

Also, so many times, I see we forget the most important thing: the audience. In preparing the presentation the target audience must be kept in mind. I see presentations that were written with no thought of what the target audience might want to hear.
I’ve also seen people reading their slides to a sleeping audience. They don’t notice the audience is there. Let’s just plough through this deck of 300 slides.
I just want to scream: It is the Audience Stupid.

Robert, thanks for pointing to the Edward Tufte essay; I’ll check it out. I think I have been the one asleep in the audience once or twice….:)
