  • The human presenter is more powerful and engaging than technology
  • Technological tools are used best used to capture the attention of the audience and to help them remember the main points
  • Use images to capture attention, text to summarize
  • Human images are best
  • Less is best
  • Use asymmetry (rule of thirds, odd numbers) and symmetry (balance)
  • Use pleasing background colors and fonts
  • Use images to capture attention, text to summarize
