How to make the world’s worst PowerPoint
presentation:A Step-by-Step Approach
By Joel Heffner
Overview
• Start with plenty of bulleted slides.• Think ugly.• Creativity is for others, not us.• It doesn’t matter what the audience wants, it’s all about us.• It doesn’t matter how the words look, you’re going to read them
anyway.• If Lincoln could have delivered the Gettysburg Address in two minutes
we can make a PowerPoint that will take two hours. That’s technology!
Start with colors. If the colors are almost the same it will be much tougher to read. Great!
Size of text is important. Make it really small so you can fit as much as possible on every slide. Remember, you’re going to read each slide anyway.
Have fun with text.
Use a font that’s really hard to read. Remember, you only have to make you happy.
Wonder from topic to topic.
Organization is for idiots.
Be a free spirit.
Use lots of quotes.
The more you quote, the less you have to actually make up yourself.
“Four score and a couple of years ago…”George Washington
No need to be accurate.
Pictures fill space…use ‘em often.Find pictures you’ve seen at least three times. If you don’t have that much to say, you can
make up stories about the pictures.
Laste and most importent…dont waste time with a spel chck.
Incidentally, anyone can make a PowerPoint presentation that looks consistant. We’re more creative than that, right?
