One of the most damaging elements to the culture of presentation design is the dreaded Bullet feature used within PowerPoint. What started out as a highly functional, and useful, feature turned into a lazy solution for business professionals, professors, students, and more.

Nearly a decade ago Seth Godin, famous for his authoring on effective presentations, wrote in a free eBook and blog post about how bullets make for a terrible presentation practice. He wasn’t entirely against them but offered guidance as to the best way to use them avoiding redundancy in formatting and how to keep their usefulness intact.
