think about how people react to visual stimuli,
think about how you manage your and their time.
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.
Key principles to consider
focus on the audience's needs
build your visuals to conform
to their expectations and behaviors
