How do billboards relate to PowerPoint slides?
1. They need to be brief and catch the eye of the viewer.
2. The viewer needs to experience novel changes in order to keep their attention long enough
• Novel = new and exciting experiences
• Also slide content should be limited
• The more words the less attention is paid
• BUT when PowerPoint is used to present content entertainment is not the goal.
