Structure Of A Story
beginning, middle, end vs tension
Wednesday 11 July 12
23. @matuvu
Basically Your Story Needs:
1. a problem
2. a solution
inbeween some crises
and atleast 1 joke
Wednesday 11 July 12
24. @matuvu
Use This Structure For Your Outline
It works faster

25. @matuvu
The Joke Is Essential!
You can drop all the other stuff.
Wednesday 11 July 12
26. @matuvu
On The Jokes
3 ways to integrate jokes:
1. Tell it
2. Integrate it in the slide + talk
3. Only show it in your slide
and have the audience notice it.

27. @matuvu
Connect With The Audience
You you need to make a personal connection
with the audience.
A joke is a good way.
Asking interaction is another.
(Hard in Belgium!)
Add eye contact, don’t read your slides
Wednesday 11 July 12
29. @matuvu
Use A Comprehensive Structure
Make sure people ‘get’ the underlying structure
through your design (same titles, same structure)

Add A Nice Touch
Not Only
Arial
Helvetica
Times New Roman
Use 1 Or 2 Personal Fonts
It shows emotion.
Use it for your titles.
Wednesday 11 July 12

Go Big!!!
Use Big Fonts
Take the age of oldest person of the audience
and devide it by 2 = min. fontsize
