* This slide discusses the layout of a presentation slide. When a speaker projects a presentation slide, the audience turns their attention from the speaker and to the presentation slide. The audience tries to gather quickly the purpose of this projected slide so that they can focus back on the speaker. For that reason, most artists recommend a headline/body layout for presentation slides. The headline orients the audience to the purpose or assertion of the slide, and the body supports the headline with words and images. (CSP, pages 125-129) What is difficult for students and many academics to accept about the way I’ve presented this arrangement is the use of a short sentence rather than a phrase for the headline. The reason that I use a short sentence for all slides, except for the title slide, is that I am designing slides that not only serve the presentation while the speaker is on stage, but also serve the presentation afterwards (when the audience looks back at the slides to remember what occurred) and serve the next speaker who might use these slides (when the original speaker is not available to make the presentation). This design of having a sentence headline is advocated at both Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories. The next slide discusses the value of a sentence as opposed to a phrase headline. Finally, notice that the headline begins in the upper left corner, which is the first place that most audiences look for information (a centered headline is not read as quickly). Slide templates that your students can download exist at http:// /writing/csp.html * This slide template is for the title slide of a presentation. Consider repeating a key image from one of the slides later in the presentation. The image helps orient the audience to the key words in the title. This image also gives you the opportunity to say a few things about your work—perhaps addressing the work’s importance or providing key background information.
