We all make them every day. And most of them are ugly (browse Slideshare for a bit and you will see). I speak with companies and founders, head of sales and CEO\u2019s they all lament about how difficult it is to turn around a slide deck yet Guy Kawasaki gave the formula long back. 10\/20\/30. 10 slides, 20 mins and 30 point font size.

For starters – Care. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 1, I agree with this completely, decide how you intend to distribute the deck. Personal elaboration is expected with a Deck. If it is to go by mail or something like Slack a self explanatory memo is in order. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next, ensure your are sharing one idea per slide. This is a dual process – of simplifying your thoughts and choosing the big idea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Third – if you definitely need to make multiple points use simple data visualization. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next is about animations – if you must use it, it should be to serve a purpose like displaying change over a period of time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I believe your deck is NOT your pitch. (You + your deck) is. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is how we make slides at Apple. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
