Re: Keynote like effect for Kpresenter
by Louis on Tuesday 30/Oct/2007, @20:10
Slides presentations are overrated, anyway. Effects designed by George Lucas cannot save a poor presentation. A really great presentation requires a speaker who can keep the audience interested while presenting the ideas at hand. I've seen plenty of presentations with fancy (but pointless and distracting) graphics and animations, that otherwise sucked because the speaker was just reading slides to me. If you have to show me diagrams or screenshots or some such visual aid, fine, but I can read for myself. Sadly, it seems that presentation software has become a crutch for people that otherwise suck at public speaking. (Not referring to anyone here in particular, just generalizing based on my personal experience.) Sorry for the rant. My point is simply that fancy effects should be a secondary concern.
