The Five-Second Rule

Illustration: Deepika’s Mehndi Creation. Vinod Khosla, a venture capitalist with 25 years under his belt, coined the “five-second rule” to spot overloaded slides. You flash a slide for five seconds, hide it, then ask someone to describe what they saw. If they struggle, the slide’s too busy—and the audience will get stuck on it instead of listening to you. Keep it simple. Source: Vinod Khosla’s Five-Second Rule. ~ #design #2k24
