For the presentation keep the script in your head and not written on your powerpoint. Look for Guy Kawasaki’s presentations on Youtube to keep your presentation to 20 slides.

A type angle could easily include that the size of screen and resolution has allowed for good type but it can lead to less transparent and clear type. see more youtube for samsung i900 and how it tries to be a desktop and also have a set of os x style widgets. Why would I want drag and drop widgets like that apart from it looks COOL once? You can see the number of styles and types of menus he uses but some of them do try to be better for the screen.

Good type and design does not get noticed as such, the message just gets remembered, I hope your message and not your design is remembered after your 10 minutes.

I had no idea Matt Patterson (I’ve heard of him) did a similar BarCamp talk. I think it’s a good idea. I was thinking about talking about something along the lines of mobile typography, but it doesn’t sound as juicy as it, well, sounds (also: need to research this better).

Good advice, thanks!

Matt Patterson (ex typo a few years before you) did a great BarCamp talk on ‘what typography taught me about writing code’. Tying in the typography angle will give you an area you know a lot about, and an area the audience might be new to. A winning combination!
