The Worst PowerPoint Ever
Too Many Words on a Slide
This is the worst PowerPoint ever, an example of all
the things that a PowerPoint author should not do in a
PowerPoint. On each slide the viewer will see a glaring
error, sometimes mockingly exaggerated to make sure
that the viewer gets it.
A PowerPoint is designed to address a complex
subject and make it simple. It is designed to assist a
speaker and his or her audience. The focus should be
on the speaker, with just a few points on each slide to
assist the viewers. The viewer should be able to take it
in at a glance.
When a slide like this comes up, the viewers simply
turn it off – they won’t even bother to read a slide like
this. On this slide, there are simply too many words. It
would have been better for the PowerPoint author to try
to sum it up in twenty five words or less.
Background picture interferes with text.
Too Much Animation
Here is some text that can’t seem to settle
down. Nobody really wants to watch all
this, but someone sure loved doing it. The
audience has to wait and wait while this
stupid animation goes on and on.
