Basic & Theoretical Considerations
Doing the presentation
Try out your presentation in advance
- check to see if the timings of the transitions and animations will work for the audience
- pay particular attention to how much time it takes for animations to occur
- remember that most audiences do not have a lot of time to spend waiting for things to happen
The eye can see and understand concepts very quickly - the quicker your presentation can get in, make a positive impression, and get out, the better off you will be.
