• Less information can be packed onto each slide

• They are mind-numbing, text heavy, and repetitious

• They are creatively demanding and time-consuming

What is the function of a slide's background?

• The background stays the same/creates a pattern and user expectation by not competing with the foreground

• The background subtly and starkly changes from slide to slide so as to reshape audience expectations

• The background serves an informative purpose and should not be distracting/decorative

• There is no function

What is a build?

• A link to a website or video in your slides

• The colors you use in your slide design

• Tools to control the release of text and graphics

• Tools to control how one slide replaces another on the screen

What is functional animation?

• Motion that is directly related to your message

  audience understanding

• Motion that is decorative and makes the message more interesting/engaging

• To tell your audience where you're going

• To verify and modify the organization of your presentation
