I often deliver presentations backed by powerpoint slides. These typically take two forms: slides built by others with whom I work, which I modify a bit, to move them a bit closer to my personal aesthetic. Or those I build myself, for my own presentations, without worry about their reuse by my office colleagues.
The first group invariably fit into Garr Reynolds' "don't do this" category and I am not sanguine this will change. As for the second group, his book will help me build more enjoyable presentations. Both for my audiences and for me.
