Presentation Rule

A great presentation isn’t just facts — it’s a journey. Hook, build, and leave an impact.

Presentation Rule

Use contrast, alignment, and spacing. Messy slides confuse — clean slides persuade.

Presentation Rule

One idea per slide. Minimal text. More visuals. Your audience should listen, not read.

In scientific or university presentations, there is usually little opportunity to insert images. But I don’t want to use only text.

That’s why I display scientific articles or online articles using mockups.

Why is storytelling so important? Because people subconsciously compare themselves to others…

Whenever you create presentations, always think about your target audience — who will be listening to you or reading this material.

But I realized that you need to go a step further — think about what you want your target audience to do after your presentation.

One important thing: a presentation should be strong and fulfill its purpose even at the “black background - white text” stage.

Meaning > decoration.

Using beautiful custom fonts in your PowerPoint presentation, but everything breaks and looks off when you open it on another computer?

There’s a solution – make sure to enable font embedding in your PowerPoint file. This way, everything will display correctly on any computer.

I worked as a salesperson, interacting with hundreds of people. I've delivered presentations to large audiences in four languages, and it was absolutely fine. But...

I still hate phone calls. For me, they're pure physical pain.

I love small UX details in life.

Today, I noticed a new feature: buses of the same route at a major hub, which go in different directions, start flashing their destination signs. This helps people clearly see the direction and avoid confusion.

A small thing, but it definitely helps people!

Discovered that by registering with a student email, you can access Figma's Professional Plan at no cost.

The verification is straightforward (definitely easier than GitHub Education😁), granting you full access without any charge.

Doing my personal challenge – #Challenge100. 100 days of posting, engaging, and showing up. Let’s see where this goes.

P.S. I’ve failed every challenge I’ve ever started, so this should be fun 😁

I love using glow effects in presentations — they instantly turn a basic opening slide into a “screen saver” that grabs attention.

Check out the perfect Figma plugin for this — Glow.

This micro-interaction animation is simply gorgeous 😍

Meaning > Design.

But Meaning + Design = 🔥
