Content

• Deliver problem, your mission, your solution, your plan
• Keep it simple and crisp across the board
• Keep your format consistent
• Keep your flow natural
• Pay attention to page composition, get space vs. content balance right
• In the middle insert one related meme image with good sense of humour, do not overdo, show this image for 2-3 seconds, not more.
• Avoid excessive clipart
• Avoid transition effects
• Use bullet points and indentation for presenting hierarchy, not deeper than 2.
• Keep statements short and simple, max 3 statements per page, 2 is best.
• Avoid indirect speech and adverbs
• Use order clauses "Implement..." rather than "We would like to implement..."
• Avoid repetitions
