chapter 11 speech buddies

11.1 I thought that this video had a lot of solid points about the usage of powerpoint and keynote. Over the years, I have seen many countless presentation slides, and what I cannot stand is the use of too many words. If the slide is too complicated, it makes the message more difficult to comprehend and therefore decreasing attention of the audience. The powerpoint should only include diagrams, pictures, and maybe a few key ideas to enhance speech. Each slide should have a purpose, and emphasis points for the speaker. Doing this will not only increase credibility but will also help the people understand what the speaker is trying to say.

11.2 showed an example how what to do and not do in presenting with presentation media. In her presentation, she did show pictures and many key terms. However, her pink template was bad because it did a poor job of contrasting the blue colored words. Also, some of her slides included multiple images which may have been confusing to the audience. Choosing the right template, images, and wording can really enhance the speech if used correctly.
