A500.8.3.RB - Good Presentation Design

         What are my thoughts on what constitutes a good presentation? In my experience any presentation has to have a meaning to the audience as well as the presenter. And what is mean by that is, both (the audience and the presenter) have to be interested and receptive to the information that is being presented. If there is no genuine interest in the topic, the topic will not be received.

         Good presentations contain valid information. Each piece of data is thoroughly fact-checked, accurate, and never misleading. Good presentations provide honest data in an honest way. Great presentations contain minimal information. Any information that's not 100 percent relevant is stripped away, including information noise such as fancy slide work. What's left is only that information that drives toward a decision.

         And last the presenter should have a solid understand of the information that is being presented. I think this a very key point. Even in the designing stage of a presentation, before you start you should have a good understanding of the material that is being put together. The arrangement of the organization can easily throw off a presentation.
