In his blog post, Godin mentions being forced to use a template. Well, it&#8217;s the same thing where I work. Lots of bullets, lots of &#8220;swim lanes&#8221;. Lots of boring.<\/p>\n<p>I absolutely love this presentation, simply because it is so incredibly different than what I&#8217;ve seen before. That said, there are several thoughts that hit me as I flipped through the slides. First of all, would something like this be appropriate for my audience? Secondly, I&#8217;m no graphic artist; how the heck am I going to put together slides that look this cool?<\/p>\n<p>I think the answer to the first question is &#8220;Probably not.&#8221;. That&#8217;s not to say that a lot of the ideas here won&#8217;t work. I just think an overly flashy style might detract a bit from my message. I certainly plan on using graphics, but perhaps in a bit more of a conservative manner. Admittedly, that&#8217;s partly due to my lack of graphic design skills more than an aesthetic choice!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fix Your Really Bad PowerPoint by @slidecomet : based on an ebook by @ThisIsSethsBlog from HighSpark | Visual Storytelling Agency &nbsp; Seth Godin&#8217;s\u00a0ebook\u00a0&#8220;Fix Your Really Bad PowerPoint&#8221;, is thirteen years old, but the concepts still seem groundbreaking today.
