Guy Kawasaki has an interesting 10/20/30 Rule of PowerPoint. He claims that a poweroint presentation should have ten slides, last no more than twenty minutes, and contain no font smaller than thirty points. Ten is the optimal number of slides in a PowerPoint presentation because a normal human being cannot comprehend more than ten concepts in a meeting. He does give some leeway on point size" If “thirty points,” is too dogmatic, the I offer you an algorithm: find out the age of the oldest person in your audience and divide it by two. That’s you’re optimal font size." He is certainly on the right track , far too many people use power point as a the presentation planning tool it is not. I suggest using a tool such as Mind manager if you want to plan on your computer or a simple flip chart. Remember, you are far too intelligent and your ideas are for too good to let power point take charge.
