- 15. Powerpoint and slide decks get a bad rap. Communicators must know who they are talking to and present with a purpose. One way to get there is to realize the difference between notes, slides and handouts. With slide design, less is more. It’s not about winning design awards, it’s about being clear to your audience. Get help with graphics and gain info architecture knowledge - don’t be shy. Your degree and job title mean nothing, your curiosity means everything. Ask me, I can help and I think you’re really swell. Thursday, April 15, 2010
