I’ve been following the Presentation Zen blog for a few weeks now, and I particularly like the idea of using minimal text and an image to provide something for the eyes to rest on while you listen to the presentation. If you have never heard of Presentation Zen, you might want to just watch Garr Reynolds’ Authors@Google presentation for a 45-minute summary about how to do effective PowerPoint. Or read the book, Presentation Zen.

Let’s just say that I’m going to be revising a few of the PowerPoint presentations that I have to make them a little less distracting.
