These are all nice, but I think the #1 important thing to take away is to focus on big ideas and high-level concepts and communicate them clearly. If the slides confuse the viewer or distract them with overly chic typography, they can't be considered successful.<p>Ultimately, you have to drill down and ask yourself how you can distill the essence of what you want to pitch into a very brief yet powerful slide. Hopefully these slides can help some to do that!
