=== Intermezzo II.: Presentation Rules ===
Short presentation on presentations and Felix's [[presentation_rules|golden rules of how to present]].
  - Content is king.
  - Know your hardware.
  - Know your software.
  - Give your presentation a structure.
  - Reduce the number of slides.
  - Time your Talk.
  - Less is more (Use an unobtrusive template design).
  - Use slides as scenery.
  - Remember Conway’s Law…
  - No visual twaddle: Practice design – not decoration.
  - If you show a picture, show it big.
  - Show infographics that are understandable and contain actual information.
  - Never stretch a font. It is all about readability – Typography rules!
  - Never use more than two typefaces.
  - Reduce bullet-point lists where possible.
  - Do not use acronyms.
  - Quote.
  - Use effects or transitions only once and only if necessary.
  - God is in the Details.
  - Break the rules only if you know them.

=== Overture ===

We will have a look at the mood-boards and will try to identify common areas to team up for projects.
