Chapter 1 (Tweaking Presentations)

After reading chapter one, I got a better understanding that a PowerPoint presentation needs to be appealing to the audience you are targeting. Before reading this chapter I just, teacher or professor would just ask me to create a PowerPoint presentation and I would just do it. After reading the book " they Snooze you lose" I now have a better understanding of how following simple details from the author Lynell Burmark, your PowerPoint will be excellent. I learned  that the background of the template is intended as "backgroud" and not the focus of the presentation. The author explains that it should not compete with the information  you intend to deliver your audience. Another thing I learned was not to write too much information on each slide, because the audience will just see clutter in the presentation. Color is another important factor the author mentions in the chapter. I learned that the color yellow is what calls the audience attention, and then it's the green, red, and last the blue.
