TIPS FOR BETTER PRESENTATIONS
THE HAIKU DECK WAY
I believe that everyone has amazing stories to tell and ideas to share.
I also believe that presentations--the expression of those ideas--should be inspiring and captivating.

TELL A STORY
After all, what are presentations but stories?
They should capture our attention and speak to our emotions.
They should stir our imaginations.
They should make time stand still.

STORYTELLING

PRESENTATIONS SHOULD BE CAPTIVATING
TOO OFTEN THERE ARE NOT.
Yet, too often, it's time standing still in the not-so-inspiring way.
We fall into the header-and-bullets formula.
We turn our slides into slideuments. We pack them with tiny text and read them out loud, word for word.
Does the world need more flying bullet points and lame clip art? I say no.
Does it need more beautiful stories and ideas? More simplicity, more fun?
That is why I'm here.

GUIDING PRINCIPLES
With Haiku Deck, they set out to reimagine the experience of creating and sharing presentations.
They wanted to make it incredibly simple for anyone to produce flawlessly beautiful slides, with minimal time and effort.
They took a mobile-first approach to ensure that content creation on the iPad would be both practical and elegant. {Case in point: In Haiku Deck, you create a chart like this by dragging the bars up and down with your fingertips.}

SIMPLE
Keep it Simple
i believe that constraints lead to creativity
Many presentation tools operate under the assumption that more is better--more options, more choices, more gimmicks.
Avoid overloading your slides with too much information. Break up complex slides into a series of slides.
In my view, less is more.

BEAUTIFUL
Make it Beautiful
Image isn't everything, but let's face it--it matters. Even the most compelling story can fall flat if it unfolds in unappealing slides filled with 8-point text.
I believe that beautiful, image-rich slides should be easy for anyone to create.

FUN
Have Fun
"Fun" is not a word that most of us associate with either creating or listening to presentations. But we don't see why these things shouldn't be fun!
