Aristotle and Powerpoint
beyond bullets: Aristotle's Top 10 PowerPoint Tips Great post about Aristotle's Rhetoric and how it applies to PPT (and frankly any kind of communication). Just goes to show you how few new ideas there really are and how useful it is to look at the old ones over and over again. Here are Aristotle's tips and tricks:
1. Be logical.
2. Think clearly.
3. Reason cogently.
4. Remember that argument is the life and soul of persuasion.
5. Study human nature.
6. Observe the characters and emotions of your audience, as well as your own character and emotions.
7. Attend to delivery.
8. Use language rightly.
9. Arrange your material well.
10. End crisply.
Not always easy to do but boy these make sense.
