From the January 2008 issue of TV Technology celebrating the 20th anniversary of PowerPoint:
[quote]... There are some who feel that cognition ends when the PowerPoint cheesecake begins ... clearer, more restrained visuals deliver better impact ... excessive decoration is clearly pointless, wasteful, and potentialy harmful to the message.[/quote]
PowerPoint turns 20!
You might already know about this terrific online resource:
http://www.presentationzen.com/
And now available in a book ("Presentation Zen").
It says everything I could think to say on this topic, only better (and with pictures!).
The great part about this site and the author: it's NOT "anti-PowerPoint" - it's in favor of clear communication, regardless of the medium.
Cheers
