This chapter really gave me a lot to think about in terms of what to keep and what to toss out of my presentation. I had a slide that stated the law about what can be copyrighted. Well, legal speak is very formal and uptight. So I went about to revamp that slide according to the suggestions of the author to get the point across to the audience with as few words as you can and incorporating photos. I completed the exercise that she suggested in the section titled, “Focusing on the Essentials”(Burmark, 2011, Kindle Location 2307). The result was a much cleaner version with less legal speak, kind of humorous, and a large graphic. Knowing how to size the graphics you use is an important lesson in order to keep your presentation looking professional. You definitely don’t want to use graphics that look obviously distorted or stretched, unless that is the look you are going for.
