What not to do with your business presentation

  • Images and text do not mix
  • To be fair, social networking is complicated
  • A symmetrical rainbow of confusion
  • Flow chart on steroids
  • The endless
  • 100 graphs in one little slide
  • Slides with ads, are they clickable?
  • The case of the invisible text
  • Bad bullet points
  • Play
  • Play
  • Backward
  • Forward

Convoluted flow charts? Tacky, out-of-focus graphics? Huge blocks of text? Welcome to PowerPoint Hell. Most of you have probably had to make a PowerPoint presentation, so you probably know the basic PowerPoint rules: Use a lot of bullet points. Don't overdo the text. Avoid multimedia excesses. Etcetera.

Here are some of the worst (or should we say best?) ones of the bunch.
