文档介绍:A Touch for Eyes
How to Use Visual Effects to Support Your Presentation
A PowerPoint Training Material
Course Objectives - Preface
Before the course, I want to stress on two things : First, I’m not an artist, so I don’t
teach you aesthetics; Second, I’m not an advertisement designer, so I don’t teach
you drawing fancy pictures, and, as a consultant instead, I strongly oppose to
present super-fancy slides to clients because it will distract their attention on the
contents. All what I teach are skills, rules, processes, etc., which help you to
effectively and municate ideas.
After the course, you will be able to:
Draw the PowerPoint slides more efficiently
Produce meaningful, impressive municable presentations

Estimated time pletion: 16 seconds Estimated time pletion: 2 seconds
Can you tell the difference? - 14 seconds.
Ah! Just 14 seconds, it doesn’t matter. But when added together, it does matter:
Copy is a mon type of action in slide drawing, usually we will expect 20 or above such actions
happening in one slide of plexity. So 14 seconds’ difference means 280 seconds in one slide
and 28000 seconds in a 100-page report, . near 8 hours. And this is just one type of many actions.
