Avoid long text. Why wouldn't you use light illustrations instead?

Simple but crucial lesson here: which slide do you prefer?

The first one is not bad. It's short. But with the second one you keep your slide simple. Now you can add a few numbers with animation. The result: a better message.

And here?

With a simple graph, you have much more space to give structure to your slide, enrich your message and communicate efficiently.

Remember: PowerPoint is no word processor. Don't force your audience to read a text with you. Know your message! That's all. Key is to support little text with smart images or graphs.

→ What's in it for you?

1. You free space on your powerpoint slide for more info.

2. You keep audience attention high.

3. You control the content, as you comment the slide.

4. Radical slide downsizing generates differentiation.
