• Put things in perspective

  
  — Authority:
  I just returned from a camping and hiking trip in Israel’s southern desert (the Negev) and came home with some beautiful pictures. It is very hard to capture the sheer size of a landscape in a photo, and one trick to do this is the make sure to have an object in your frame that the viewer knows the size of. In the ...

• You understand everything?

  
  — Authority:
  An aspiring presentation designer asked me this question. “You really are confident that you can grasp any story that is thrown at you (scientific, financial)?” I answered positive. Yes, I have some background in business, engineering, and financial analysis, but there are cases where I do not get it the first ...

• I will talk to that

  
  — Authority:
  That is what many experienced executives say. It is true that not every point your want to make in a presentation needs to be spelled out in a slide. But sometimes the crucial message of a presentation gets omitted. Some slide that has been used for a thousand times (often a bad one) is the trigger for the ...

• From PPT to HTML

  
  — Authority:
  Web design involves technical skills that a presentation or print designer does not have. At the same time, (if I may say so), presentation/print designers might have a better feeling for page layout (understatement). Yeah, yeah, I agree, on the interactive technology front the geeks still beat us. I have blogged ...

• The other side of the table

  
  — Authority:
  As I am making slow but steady progress with my presentation app I have had a chance to sit on the other site of the table: being the one who pitches an idea, rather than my usual role as a presentation designer who gets pitched with business plans. Observations: Yes, not everybody loves your idea like you do (but ...

• Where is the money?

  
  — Authority:
  Most business presentations address the financials of an idea at some stage. Resist the temptation of using a cartoonesk clip art image to introduce the topic. Financials are serious stuff and you are not asking for your weekly candy allowance from investors or corporate decision makers.

• A good PowerPoint template

  
  — Authority:
  I just gave a client some feedback on new PowerPoint template options, I might as well share my thoughts with all of you: Flat: no drop shadows behind fints, no gradients, no reflections. These look dirty in a world of razor sharp retina displays Out with the subtle waves and watermarks, they 1) make slides hard to ...

• One minute pitches

  
  — Authority:
  Last night I attended a startup pitch event in New York where contestants had 60 seconds to pitch their idea, followed by 2 minutes of questioning by a panel of judges. Some observations on elevator pitches: No slides (everyone got that right) Get right to it, no uh oh, my background is, a small joke Most ...

• Why suffer?

  
  — Authority:
  Often when I visit a client and we do some on-site slide edits together, I am surprised to see how people suffer from working in PowerPoint because of things that can easily be prevented: Make sure you actually see what you do. Make your work area as big as possible, reduce the size of the slide note box to the ...

• Flat design: good news for you

  
  — Authority:
  Flat design is the big trend in graphic design at the moment, and it is great news for the layman designer. You can stop worrying about what you thought were “sophisticated” graphics: 3D, drop shadows, gradients, reflections. Take the Microsoft approach for example: blacks and greys, one bright accent color, ...
