If it takes longer than 6 seconds to appreciate the picture and read the text, try using 2 or more slides to convey the message. You could even use the same picture but with less text on each slide. However put something to show that it is the second part of the bigger message.

Alas I have followed the simple rules as pinpointed but I hardly get more then a handfull of clicks. I know it is not always easy to amalgamate pictures to text and keep it simple, but I feel that 6 secs is far too short to visualize an artistic pic and read text.

Righto, Tosime! I am now changing the image of the first slide on a presentation I am working on. Thanks for sharing.

nice presentation...please see my slideshow here http://www.slideshare.net/peacediscovery/peace-283565

Hi Tony,

ever wonder the reason for the african name person and the lady with an empty gun to visit this 'plain' web site, since they look like having all the answers.

thanks heavens we were visited by those alien gods?

Well, it's simply awful and has been emphasized so many times... but in much convincing ways! I would advice you get the (old but still so powerful) manifesto 'Really Bad PowerPoint and how to avoid it' by Seth Godin... much better than this! Or read 'Presentation Zen' by Garr Reynolds, beautiful info compared to that poor design... Sorry!

Your slides 1 and 11 are good. The rest are way too busy. What's with this 6x6x6x6 rules? The only rule that applies is there should be NO bullet points - like in your slide 1 and slide 11. For each sldie, you should have a nice photo (not cheesy clip art) that is relevant to a point you are trying to make and a short sentence that addresses the point. You can have 7 words if you wish. Just make sure the font is large enough for the audience to read. Keep the sentence short. You can have as many slides as you need to make your point and you can spend as much time as you need per slide. The PowerPoint police will not arrest you. On some slides, you may spend 4 seconds. On others, much longer. It all depends on the topic of the slide.

Very useful tips! I think they are easy to learn, easy to follow. Good representation which makes it easier to pick up.

Very helpful suggestions! It's simple and easy! And I agree: a good photograph at the beginning can really evoke people's attention..

Hi Tony,
Thank you for your very simple tips. I find them so great and full of inspiration. Thank you very very much.

great instruction

Thanks Priya. Interesting how your comment is just like your comment 'Short & Crisp' Three words, three syllables. I bet you are in a technical field?

SHORT AND CRISP

Hi Tony, yes, it's Steve. Thanks for your reply.

I don't know about you but I'm finding SlideShare a great source of inspiration: some presentations for their content, some because they are good visual examples, and some because they remind me of what to avoid! My postings have been fairly brief so far, but I will do more. Not being able to use animations means I can't use most of my everyday presentations without adapting them. It's an interesting discipline though!

Hello Perspector Steve - or is that just Steve? I have added my name to your email listing. Your product looks very good. I will give it a try. You look very talented, I look forward to seeing your work.

Hello Amit. Thanks for your kind words. What you have created here at slideshare is like a dream come true. Many thanks. Work pressure has kept me away. But I want to start creating slides again very soon.

This is a really useful lesson and well put together, Tony. I particularly like the tip of trying to copy a slide you like as a way of discovering your knowledge gaps.

On slide 11 there is a comment/query about where to find free picture resources. There are actually lots without copyright restrictions. Anyone interested can find them from a listing of free PowerPoint resources (pictures and others) that is available - free, of course - from http://www.perspector.com - see the bottom left of the home page.
Steve

hey Tosime,

Glad to see you back in action...we were missing you...

Amit

Correction! the new email address is tonyosime at cobranet dot org.

I now have a new email address: tonyosime at cobranet dot com. Replace the at and dot wih symbols.

Thanks to all those who have made this a favorite slideshow. I do slideshow makeovers if you want your slides to look more professional. People say I am good at creating diagrams that make complex ideas easy to understand - I am not just a pretty face. Please contact me 'tony dot osime dot at firstsmi dot com'. (that format is just to foil the programs that search for email addresses)

Thanks for explaining how to do that.

Thanks for your question Bhupesh. Many of my stock pictures come from 'www.clipart.com'. I got a free one month subscription when I bought a Hemera clip art collection from Fry's in the USA. I think clipart.com bought over Hemera. I also use Microsoft's collection from their website. As you can see, I am on a low budget.

This may have been asked as I have not viewed all of your slides yet...where did you get the stock pics?

Absolutely...thanks.

Thanks Damone. It is so good to see my slides through another pair of eyes. I am learning so much - really appreciate it.

Thanks Damone. I will look in Flickr. I have just come from Presentation Zen, an excellent blog. I really appreciate your comments Damone

It would be an easier task in the training room. You simply use the example slide as your background and do a nice trasparent banner with 'find the slide you like'...advance to next slide 'try and reproduce it'...then transition to 'what you cannot...'

However, in this forum, what you have done works.

Try using the Flickr creative commons. I've found it to be the most useful place to get hi-res images for free. and since it is a social site, you will find amazing pictures of nearly anything you could imagine.

Also, check out a blog called 'Presentation Zen' by Garr Reynolds. Extremely valuable stuff.

Excellent point Damone. How many elements are there on this slide? Basically 3 ideas. Since I am asking my audience to make a comparison, I have to have them on one slide. Is this a justifiable exception to the 6 second rule? Can you show me what you mean?

Thanks for your comments Damone. I looked at over 40 pictures from different sources. I tried about 5. None captured the essence of the concept of 'time to understand' being more important than the concept itself. This is a hard idea to put accross. This MS clipart does it very well I think with the stop watch being so much bigger than the person, while the person is dynamic. Do you have a better picture? Please could you do a one slide makeover for me and upload it. We can discuss it by way of comments.

Too much on a slide...break this into three slides. Use the example slide as your background. It loses impact because it is crowded.

You've sued stock MS clipart. Not the best choice

Thanks Rictar...

nice points very well put

Thanks djakes. I just copy good people! Double click the object to bring up the format object options. Make sure a color is selected - grey is quite neutral, then select a transparency. I go for 20-50% depending on background and color of object and color of text. Keep adjusting all 3 parameters until you get the effect you want. Most times the line color should be set to no color to keep the object 'light' - as if it were floating. Hope this helps...

Tony: how did you do that transparency thing on your second slide (the upper banner)? Nicely done, by the way!

Thank you for your comment vectormonkey. Such comments make me feel that my effort was worthwhile.

Thanks for your comments Vishnu. Please feel free to add more comments.

cool! :-)
