So much out there, we are just giving you a taste We are always here for consultancy, as a resource to you More training is on its way, we plan on doing a new topic once/qtr (repeats depending on demand)
New Horizons gave you the ‘How’, now we’ll give you the ‘Why’ You now know how to use PPT, lets use it for our benefit now Every choice, whether it be size, shape, font, etc means something Use your gut, its better than you think We all have it, u don’t need to be an artist or anything to do so, born with it
So, basic question – what is design? How does design impact your powerpoint Why are design principles important in ppt Easier on the eyes – simpler to understand, easier to sell Imparts value More appealing Consideration - - value your audience
A way to organizing and communicating information NOT, icing on the cake. You don’t just add the finishing touches at the end Its part of the process from the beginning A way for you to control the absorption of knowledge The in take of information is lead by the way you use design in your slides In design, there are many solutions. It’s always subjective to what you are trying to communicate Every time u use the same slide, it maybe trying to communicate something different, so you should adjust when possible
Each has a 30 min demo followed by 15 mins to try and 15 mins to ask questions Ask questions throughout If you get stuck with the how – ask NH rep If you get stuck with the why – ask bl!k We are here for you, USE us!
Method of story telling 3 things
Method of story telling
You should have your own version of 5 slides you will be creating
This may seem intimidating, but all it takes is some upfront thinking to get you here faster. Let’s dive into some techniques on how to go from the givens to the final communication
Its just the way you arrange the information on the slide Information is everything from your text, to your images, charts… Whatever is going on the slide counts Just like anything else…you have to set it up before you play…
We are gonna go thru a few things in this section How to draft basic layout – how do I place text, images or other elements on a slide the best way What it means to build a true theme Setting up that layout within PPT
What do you want your audience to get in… 3 seconds - If they just take a glance – or CEO level 3 minutes - If they stop to read the impt parts – what do you want them to understand? – for your general client 3 hours - If they need the details or come to revisit the information
Feng Shui The golden ratio or the rule of thirds Going beyond the traditional grid Used in the movie, design, photography industry Leads to professional looking imagery
You have options to recompose a picture to favor the power points Creates energy, balance and more interest than centered images Also allows space for key communication and augmenting text with image
BUILD YOUR OWN GRID
We don’t have a bell, we have images…
Make sure you ask questions, don’t be shy Like everything else in life…a little practice goes a long way. You need to do it a few times so your mind adjusts to seeing information in a new way Soon you’ll be able to do it quickly on the fly, spend the time now.
You have to pick and choose what will be at the forefront of your communication and use visual cues to help your audience get the point quickly
So what is in your design tool box? Size, color, shape, space, font, reflections, shadows, etc Its important that you know ‘why’ you are using it and what it means This is part of your communication strategy, don’t use what doesn’t fit
The rule of 3 applies here as well. Think about what will be communicated at each time frame
Why go to grey? If you start with neutrals it will help you identify what is truly necessary to communicate Using neutrals will help you kill the bias around what looks pretty vs. what is necessary I usually go to the slide master and grey everything out, so I can pick and choose

Aight, give it a shot and ask some questions Try multiple version Expand the possibilities There are many right answers What works for your core communication What works for your presentation style? Here are my examples
Special effects definitely garner buzz and excitement by the audience, but can also evoke a feeling of excess and gimmick Its important that you understand WHY you are using it And make sure it communicates something important
Demonstrate a feeling when using transitions 3 types of basic transitions 3 uses for animation when demoing process
Shows ease, blend, transition
Shows ease, blend, transition
Shows movement, traveling, panning, advancement
Shows movement, traveling, panning, advancement
Shows change, something new, morphing
Shows change, something new, morphing
3D, shadow, reflection, bevel, gradients, quick fx Again use it to help draw the eye to it. Make sure it has a purpose. Helps to give a feeling of depth
When u have multiple levels, u can show depth and perspective Show priority/importance (reflection, shadows Call attention (gradients, shadows)
This started on a napkin
Try out animation styles You don’t have to do them now in ppt, but think conceptually What COULD you do? Check your visual flow, step back and see if it really communicates what you want Here are my examples
So we’ve gone over 3 fundamental areas in the Visual story that can immediately improve your PPT skills Basic Layout – to help your audience follow you and find your key communication quickly Emphasis – Techniques to call out your key communication points Special Effects – To help add some emotion and dynamic elements to help illustrate your key communication
30 mins to mess around with the three areas we discussed. Take the few slides that you have and build a deck with your own personal flair, making sure you stay true to your objectives and key communications. We are here to walk around and help you out if you have problems. If you can’t find a button – NH If you can’t figure out design – bl!k
We ask that you take what you have and upload it to our Slideshare channel. www.slideshare.net Username: blik Password: mindshareblik We are going to use this as a central place to share good ppts. This is our first step to take advantage of all the talent we have here.
Finally, we are working hard to get you guys what you want. We really believe in what we are doing and can only succeed with you help. So, thank you for coming, we hope it was helpful.
