Recently Moved to Keynote

From Powerpoint, and it’s clear to me after looking through this that I still have much to learn in terms of developing my Presentation-Fu.

I want to second the previous comment, however, about not getting lost in adding too much stuff. In looking through your previous slides Merlin, I very much appreciated the minimalist approach. I could very much picture from seeing and listening to you in other forums the way that the slide would essentially serve to provide a context for the verbal presentation.

What you are describing might serve to make those pictures prettier, but it’s the simplicity of the old slides that make me question my personal (“listier”) approach.
