Putting the final touches on my slides in preparation for tomorrow's talk at but my computer's already gone into bedtime mode

Screenshot of LibreOffice Impress editing a presentation. The title of the presentation is "Interoperability: how standards help you be different". The entire screen is...not quite black-and-white, but I'd say, maybe a kind of sepia-and-white? Or black-and-white with a sepia tint?

@badrihippo ๐Ÿคจ
is it really necessary to yell on the slide?
big letters are so noisy ...
small letters are so kind and gentle ...

@badrihippo Ah yes finally someone else like me who has little to no text in his presentation slides.

@SpaciousCoder78
Meanwhile, when someone asked me the copy of my today talk's presentation, I told them that I'll share the presentation. They literally said "don't call it a presentation, it looks more like a research book "๐Ÿฅน๐Ÿฅฒ
Roast of the day for me
But I know myself that my presentations really are some of the ugliest ones on earth ๐Ÿฅน
I write it like a blog for the audience to have it as a reference and learn it later

@vivekanandanks I tried doing something like that at MiniDebConf Navi Mumbai and it flopped too hard because ocean of text in a presentation isn't my style. It was an information overload. Neither the audience understood what I tried to convey, nor me who tried to cram as much as info i could under 30 mins. My presentation had 50 slides btw

@SpaciousCoder78
I create ppts like a blog instead of as a presentation. I should really learn these things to convey my point better. Long way to go for me I guess. Coz because of these overflowing info, I stutter a lot during presentation on what to explain first, whether they'll understand some stuffs first or should I start from here etc etc

Still figuring out how to achieve this.

@vivekanandanks do it in my style - mostly images + memes and a pinch of text here and there. Images make the presentation a lot more bearable

@SpaciousCoder78
I forgot to say a lot of stuff of I do have only that as a reference, so maybe I should keep the presentation simple and have a guide in my mobile? ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿค”
Let's try that maybe next time

@vivekanandanks or just know the topic so well that you won't even need a presentation!

Thats how i do it

@SpaciousCoder78
That's how I do it too. But keep some points for reference and also the presentation is like a self readable blog like thing. I know I shouldn't bloat my presentation like that. I'll try very slim version next time and a follow up blog for self reading maybe
