1 Know your purpose

Before you start designing your slides, you need to have a clear idea of what you want to achieve with them. What is the main message you want to convey? How do you want your audience to feel or act after your presentation? How do your slides support your speech and not repeat it? Having a clear purpose will help you choose the right content, layout, and design for your slides.

Leave out the bullet points it's no longer the 90s. Less is best when it comes to a presentation, use your slides as a guide, not as a proposal. Spending a bit more time on bespoke images or animations can make the difference between being remembered for your presentation and not.

2 Simplify your content

One of the biggest slide mistakes is to overload your slides with too much information, text, or graphics. This can make your slides hard to read, understand, or remember. To avoid this, you should simplify your content and focus on the key points you want to highlight. Use bullet points, keywords, or phrases instead of full sentences. Use charts, diagrams, or images instead of tables or lists. Use colors, fonts, and contrast to emphasize important elements and create hierarchy.

I agree with most of this advice, but sometimes it's more helpful to write out nearly full sentences for titles vs opting for a pithy one. For example, if you're creating a pitch deck for your startup, here are two examples of titles for a slide that highlights the company's market: a) "Our Target Market" b) "Our $750M Piece of a $5B Market" (B) is clearly better because it packs more of a punch. So I would opt for including the most relevant, impactful information in titles. That way, if someone is skimming your presentation, just looking at the titles alone tells a story.

Unified and appealing graphics are the key. Some people hear this and go with a plain blue background throughout, thus achieving boring. A simple gradient or corner design on the background is far more pleasing, just keep it consistent.

3 Use animations and transitions wisely and sparingly

Animations and transitions can add interest, variety, or emphasis to your slides, but they can also be distracting, annoying, or confusing if overused or misused. To use them wisely and sparingly, you should ensure they add value or meaning to your slides, use them consistently and coherently, use them subtly and smoothly, and use them to support your speech and timing. Doing so will help you create slides that are engaging and effective.

I actually disagree with this advice since the goal of a presentation isn't to follow a certain set of UX rules - it's to change minds and win hearts. And so if you need to capture the attention of people who are highly distracted, investing some whiz-bang elements into your PPT is totally justified. At the end of the day, don't forget that change is hard to do - and especially trying to change someone else. And so doing whatever it takes is well worth it! ??

4 Practice and test your slides

Another common slide mistake is to assume that your slides will work perfectly without testing them beforehand. This can lead to technical glitches, formatting errors, or unexpected results that can ruin your presentation. To avoid this, it is important to practice and test your slides several times before your presentation. You should check the compatibility and functionality of your slides with the software and hardware you will use, as well as the readability and visibility of your slides on the screen or projector. Additionally, you should ensure the timing and synchronization of your slides with your speech and cues, as well as the clarity and relevance of your slides for your audience and context.

5 Get feedback and improve your slides

The final step to avoid common slide mistakes is to get feedback and improve your slides based on it. Feedback can help you identify and fix any issues or gaps in your slides that you might have overlooked or missed. You can review your slides critically and objectively, and ask someone else who is familiar with your topic, audience, or presentation format for their honest and constructive opinion. Additionally, observe and listen to your audience's reactions and responses during and after your presentation, and ask them for their feedback and suggestions.
