Good presentation design is crucial to keeping your audience attentive, along with being able to retain the knowledge given. I think that being an effective presenter and keeping slide content to a minimum are the two most important points when creating a presentation.
I have sat through too many presentations where the presenter was either tired, boring, or simply did not care about the material being presented. This made for a bored audience and the information being conveyed was not retained as well as it could have been. Presenters need to be excited about the material and knowledgeable so they can illustrate key points for the audience, rather than filling up a slide with words. Having high energy and actually caring about the presentation will allow the audience to be more engaged, creating a more effective and fun environment.
Presentations should also be created in a way so that wording does not clutter slides, and slides are kept to a reasonable amount. Sometimes a picture can tell a story or convey a point. Audiences are said to respond better when they are visually stimulated, and this could not be made possible when using excessive wording, bullet points, and refraining from using stimulating images and graphics.
Creating a good presentation is not easy, but overcoming a few major obstacles could greatly improve the effectiveness of it.
