An example of a good slideshare

Visceral Sustainability
View more presentations from GreenNurture.

The presentation above stood out to me as one that is quite informative, interesting to look at and generally well-designed.  While some images are a bit grotesque (i.e. the road kill!) the images are really what gives the presentation depth in terms of visual stimulation. The speaker moved along nicely and everything he said connected to what was on the slide at the time. I liked how the slide show was not completely informative - it challenges the reader to question. By simply stating words or phrases, the listener wants to know what it all means. Therefore, they will tune into the speaker who holds the information.

Further, I really liked the speakers tone of voice and pace of speech. He was informative, interesting and energetic. He engages the audience (me) constantly and it is easy to pay attention to his voice.

The design of the slide show was simple and clean - two important aspects of a good slide show. I liked that the slide designer used sans serif font because it is easy to read from a distance. I will definitely use sans serif in my upcoming slide show!
