Some Advice About Presentations, the 10:20:30 rule

And at some point down the line you are going to give a presentation.
As a scholar, there is good chance that you could be presenting about your scholarship or other topics.
Now here's some good advice about preparing and delivering presentations from Guy Kawasaki. He is the genius who propelled Mac computers from an unknown company to the giant that it is today.
In this 2-minute video, he shares and jokes about concepts that might be of value to you. It is called the 10-20-30 rule of presentation. (Please note that this principle should be taken with a pinch of salt)
"10" stands for the number of slides that a presentation should have.
"20" stands for the duration (in minutes) any presentation should not exceed.
"30" stands for the minimum font size you should use for your presentations.


I really don't agree personally with all he'ssaying but, it is a powerful statement about the size of the fonts, to which I totally agree.
30 million PowerPoint slides will be created by the time this day ends. You can set your presentation apart by applying these basic but important principles.I hope this humorous video will set you thinking about the way you can create your slides.
