Bill and TED’s excellent adventure.
Here are all 28 slides used in Bill Gates' "Innovating to Zero" talk at TED on February 12, 2010.
Why are they so good?
- They tell the story, even without his narration.
- No chart junk.
- Exactly the right amount of information. No more, no less.
- Every graphic element has been considered, and has a purpose. Every graphic element works.
- Color, emotion, drama. Human faces.
- Most of the slides have 10 words or less. The most powerful slide has one number. The second most powerful slide has two words.
- Only 28 slides.
Ironically, from the man who made chart junk such a problem in the first place.
