I have no clue what this new milk brand (Sach) in the market is (see image). I've been away from the net/newspaper etc lately. But I did go to Big Bazaar and see this new milk with Sachin's photo and signature on it.
Is it PR or just a coincidence that there has been news of an award to Sachin for his good health and his love for milk before a match?
"tendulkar likes hot milk with turmeric before a match"
"Sachin Tendulkar is healthiest and happiest person in India"
"Milk is the secret of Sachin's fitness"
Maybe it's pure coincidence or have I become too cynical?
You always learn as you go. You always over-do and then simplify and then over-do. It's a vicious cycle and why should powerpointing be any different!
So here are 2 very clear stages in the life of a powerpointer (in this case - me)
Stage I Wow! Animations! I am ashamed to admit that I animated everything. I was fascinated by all that one could do on powerpoint. (At one point of time I even created a whole animated video of sorts of a house and twinkling stars) :D
From fonts to pictures to linking videos and animating everything with the more laborious 'typewriter' or 'fly in from left' animations available, often character by character (don't smirk, you know you've been there too)
Stage II Powerpoint Detox Having gone over the top in most presentations, I have come to realize the importance of good clean designs.
Sure, everyone's already told us that we ought to stick to one point per slide... but when a client expects 1000 answers to his 1000 problems what is one to do!
So here are two powerpoints I'd like to share to help get ahead of the learning curve :D
1. Good Powerpoint design It's a LONG ppt but it makes its point. Though I doubt I'd ever take the trouble of profiling my audience as this ppt suggests, but I guess if you're speaking at an important place you may want to. Good PowerPoint Design - for business presenters
2. Death by powerpoint I love this one :D MUST WATCH!
