If your purpose is to reinforce, educate, or persuade your audience…

this is NOT how to do it.

Avoid overloading separate channels; use a spare approach to your visuals.

Get their eyes to the right place.

Think of the slides as keyword drivenor

simple cue cards.

Rethink.

The best publications are linking documents, captions, slides, and

other materials.

More publications are using multi-modal visuals and captions because they are memorable and efficient.

This aids RETRIEVABILITY for the audience!

The Notes pane is extremely useful when converting a document visual into a presentation visual.

Archive useful slide decks.

Integrate full NOTES , even though the audience doesn’t see them initially.

Use the print –to-PDF

in order to archive.

Your PDF page will then look

like this to anyone who accesses it.
