or 2 Use bullet points all the way, losing relevancy Do not use bullet points in any way and, instead, write long texts in very small prints that someone will never, ever, be able to read until the end. The need to insert the biggest possible amount of the details reveals the lack of mastery of content by the speaker, who uses the slide as a crutch to support and as a source of consultation for not forget to say everything that needs to be said. Immense paragraphs with endless explanations that could be made orally by the presenter are a great way to make your audience fall into sleep. Technical and detailed explanations accompanied by huge graphs and tables filled with tiny numbers, too, are a perfect recipe to horrible slides. The alignment "justified" aid, even more, making the exercise to read that text a real torture.
