The Slides' Focus

IN THIS CHAPTER

• Determining the goal of each slide
• Contrasting Zen and Vajrayana: different approaches
• Using text slides, the cheapest of all
• Using photographs
• Introducing infographics

This chapter discusses the fundamentals of slide design. I will walk you through the first part of the design process, which mostly has to do with answering the question, “What am I trying to say?”, and you'll see the choices you have. The chapter also looks at the most basic slides, which have only text, and more advanced slides, which use photos or abstract images. Expect lots of examples.
