In this slidecast Kevin Gee provides an excellent overview of how to best construct a presentation that people will remember by applying what he refers to as the cognitive theory of learning.
The coherence principle - adding material to a slide decreases what people learn (so get rid of those corporate logos folks)
The advance organiser - explain new ideas within a familiar existing framework (a car is therefore a horseless carriage)
Have a look at Kevins critque of "normal" presentations and change that slide deck!

Sounds like Kevin Gee could end up on the Clarity Rules list of Clarity Heroes, along with
Chip and Dan Heath (on making things memorable)
and all the presentation and logic gurus like
Garr Reynolds,
Nancy Duarte,
Barbara Minto et all.
Great find, Scott. Thanks for pointing him out!
