Grab 'Em With Your Cover Slide! Don't be afraid to let your cover slide have impact. Use it to grab their attention and help sell your Teaser ( the first 30 seconds to two minutes). Start with a bang and then use that momentum to capture your audience's interest. The above slide was used to talk about isolating and attacking a virus. Just like when Hollywood launches a new movie, your Teaser and cover slide give your audience a taste of what's coming and makes them hungry for more. Too often, cover slides are boring Corporate Identity templates with very dry, unimaginative titles. If you want to turn off your audience immediately, use those. If you want to grab 'em immediately, be creative and bold. The only requirement is that you can concretely connect it to your message. Have fun, go crazy.
