I’m giving a presentation next week to a bunch of Scottish Masters and PhD anthropologists, by way of a sort of preparation for the “real world” (sic). But I’ll have zero time for preparation since I’ll be flying from California, via Newark to Edinburgh and then on to the beautiful Kinloch Rannoch. It what will probably turn out to be a huge mistake that I’ll regret but a challenging one nonetheless – I’m going to force myself to use this wonderful PowerPoint template, or the guts of it to guide my talk. It will save me writing any slides and maybe a useful creative exercise in its own right.

Hehe, good luck. It is semi-serious – I did use it in anger at Futuresonic – strictly in one presentation, less strictly in another. I used the notes and the presenter’s view to remind me of the points.
However, it is incendiary, and can blow people’s minds. Others may just think it’s rubbish – but they probably write terrible type-and-talk presentations themselves 😉

As i look at each slide I’m seeing a pattern to the talk emerging – or rather I’m beginning to see which slides have an obvious talking point and which don’t. I’ve given the talk many times so it’s sort of a matter of looking long and hard at a slide and working out which point from the ‘module’ of the talk is best represented by the shape…. I’m enjoying the mental exercise – when i should be concentrating on a presentation to VPs which will be the culmination of 9 months work – and will post the results to here/Slideshare when I’m done.
