This is a very useful post; thank you for sharing so much helpful and relevant information.

I especially like the “bridge” that accompanies each example, “How to copy…” or “How to Use…” Nice idea.

I agree. I left a similar comment on Presentation Advisors blog. It says : Pecha Kucha is not a “design” method. It is rather a delivery method but it as its place on the list. http://bit.ly/y5qAt

For the Bullet point method,I still think that it is a non design method and that two much people rely on it.

Hi Denis

I see Pecha Kucha as a presentation format not a slide design method. It’s a particular constraint on the way that you present – having to time your “narration” for each slide to 20 seconds. But Pecha Kucha doesn’t tell you how you should design your slides. It could be any of the styles above – or your own style. Olivia

Good Job Olivia,

I suggest two others method.

First: Pecha Kucha. “Each presenter is allowed 20 images, each shown for 20 seconds each – giving 6 minutes 40 seconds of fame before the next presenter is up”. It is not mainstream, but it is gaining fans.

Second: the most popular method. The boring, boring, really boring, bullet point. Then again….No, you can forget it.
