George: I hear where you are coming from. It’s interesting that in the speaking community, there is starting to be a bit of a backlash against the backlash of image only slides. I suspect that a mix of images and just a few key words holds the key to a striking visual. Now the trick is to find out just how many words is enough without being too many…!

I’m with you.

As I see it – only one thing should be on the slide – an image. It’s meant to me a visual mediun which means photos, graphs or diagrams.

Peter: I think that you’ve hit on something here. Making your slides bare is a good approach, but if you don’t put extra time into making sure that what’s there is relevant to what you are saying, then you’ve done your audience a disservice.

Don’t give up the graph! Just make sure that it’s clear and don’t spend TOO much time on it – make your point and move on!

Finally, yes – your knowledge of geography is better than mine. Olivia Mitchell (who lives in New Zealand) pointed out to me that some Dutch explorers (who knew about Denmark islands) came up with the name. I am so ready for my next game of Trivial Pursuit!

I appreciate the minimalist approach in a PowerPoint presentation. When it’s done effectively the presenter has clearly put some thought into their choice of pictures and they work as visual metaphors for their talk. I do find that speakers are less prepared to deal with complexity in their presentations if they take the minimalist approach. Line or pie charts still have a role in a good presentation…they need an explanation, but they make their point.
p.s. I believe that Zealand is one of Denmark’s islands!
