Quickly get rid of bulletsWhy would you want to get rid of bullets in your presentations? In short, they can turn a good presentation into a boring one. But how do you get rid of bullets? Recently, a woman called me to ask if I had any courses explaining how to create presentations without bullets. She was interested in a guide, templates, how to design slides, a sample set of slides, and more. I don't have such a course (yet), but I wanted to offer a quickie solution for now. Before that, let me say a couple of things:
Now for the shortcut. This is especially useful if you have existing presentations that you want to change in a hurry. Follow these steps:
You need to go through your presentation and see if this works. (You can always undo your change!) If you have slides that have a lot of text on them, you may feel that the slide is now confusing. For example, here's a slide with the bullets.
Here's the same slide without bullets.
It's hard to tell where one item starts and another ends. Here's one solution:
By alternating text colors, you can distinguish between the items. But, as I mentioned at the beginning, another solution entirely might work better. This is the concept of thinking about your content in terms of processes.
Try this with your own presentations and see what you can come up with! back to main tips menu for more tips
