Ditching those bullet points and going visual not only makes your slide decks more enjoyable for your audience; your slide decks are also more fun for you to make. I hope these examples inspire you.

Bullet Points
By Danielle Nocon

2. HANDS ABOVE YOUR HEAD!
Don't even THINK
about reaching for
those bullet points!

3. WHY?

4. • Confining your content
