-: I'm extremely happy to be opening this course.
First things first, component of a good slide.
You may think, why am I telling you
about such simple things like a slide header?
Apart from the very first slide in your presentation
that may be an introduction.
Most of the slides in your presentation
will contain a title, maybe a subtitle,
and an additional lead
into the story of your actual body content.
But the header area will be usually placed
at the top side of your slide.
It's important that you know why
because this is the first area
that the viewer will see and probably read
especially for business and consulting presentations.
It must represent the main idea of the slide itself
and direct the reading flows of the slide.
What I mean by that, it should essentially summarize
the content below and orchestrate, its narrative.
Speaking of orchestrating, if I would compare a PowerPoint
or any presentation slide to an orchestra,
the title would probably be the conductor itself.
It should navigate, lead and paint the story
of the slide and what is coming next.
Hopefully, you will like this example
because it'll help us to visualize the hierarchy
and importance of different sections in a slide.
