Not that I’m calling myself super smart, because spending so much time commenting on forums about things I don’t know that much about probably means I’m not, but Comic Sans is my goto font for pretty much all my presentations. Comic sans and well placed gifs.
It’s part of the charm for me, and I use it as a self-confidence boost and a reminder that life doesn’t have to be so serious, because now I can inject some humour into a talk and I have to own that well enough to keep a straight face while delivering the material. Especially in your typical office set up, it’s quite cathartic, and I genuinely enjoy showing people that you don’t have to be so perfect.
I have a lot of respect for people who can bring a bit of lightness to what can otherwise be quite dull day. We are all human after all.
As an example, I think Gary Bernhardt is great with this. The Wat talk is a classic.
- ddingus 7y agoI agree with you and articulated my sentiment with coarse precision. I share your respect. There has to be a better way to say it, but people using comic sans for this vibe, who could easily pull off something else gets at it.
