This document discusses poor presentation slide design. It notes that slides are often filled with too much unimportant text that presenters just read, lack organization and proper formatting. Specific poor design elements called out include typos, lack of alignment, repetition, unrelated stock images, and small or hard to read text and fonts. The document suggests improving slides by unifying design, having a clear purpose on each slide, using proximity, alignment and your own effective images instead of stock ones. It advises preparing well, being respectful of the audience, taking ownership of the presentation, and knowing when design rules can be broken for effectiveness.
