Making slides is one of the quickest and easiest parts of making a talk. I do it right at the end of the process. It’s much more important to get the story and the pacing and the order right. Then the slides fall into place.

I like to use zero text. The ideal scenario is no text at all on screen. The text comes from me speaking. Okay that isn’t really true. I like to put big bold mantras behind me like “LET CODE DIE” and “NO MORE IDEAS” and whatnot. But its not really writing: They’re symbols / images.

Never use bullet points

Fullscreen images / mantras only

(exceptions are allowed for storytelling purposes)
