You’ve just been asked to give a project update to your colleagues at next week’s lunch-hour seminar. 你刚刚被要求在下周四午餐时间的一小时里,向你的同事展示一份PPT。 Quick… 赶紧想 How many slides will you use? How much text can you put on them? How long should you speak — the whole hour, or less? 你要使用多少张PPT? 你要在PPT上放多少字? 你应该讲多长时间?一整个小时还是不到一点? Don’t know? Guy Kawasaki, a famous author and venture capitalist, has the answers and they may surprise you. 你也许并不知道答案,盖伊-川崎,著名作家兼风险投资人则能给你答案,而这些答案或许会让你感到惊讶。 What is the 10-20-30 Rule for PowerPoint? 什么是做PPT的10-20-30原则? 10 slides are the optimal number to use for a presentation. 用10张PPT进行展示最为理想。 20 minutes is the longest amount of time you should speak. 最多用20分钟来进行演讲。 30 point font is the smallest font size you should use on your slides. 最小用30磅的字体大小。 1: 10 Slides Constrains the Presenter to Choose Wisely 1:只能放10张PPT,要求做展示的人要精心选择 Sure, 10 may seem like an arbitrary number, but putting a limit on the number of slides you are allowed is a valuable constraint. Most people probably have 20, or 30, or 100 slides for a 1-hour presentation. Trimming this number down to 10 forces you to evaluate the necessity of each and every slide. Just like every element of your presentation, if the slide isn’t necessary, it should be cut. |
