Ten Simple Tips to clean-up those boring PowerPoint slides
You've worked and worked on your presentation...but it still looks cluttered and ugly. Here are 10 quick and easy methods for reducing on-screen clutter, providing breathing space, and improving boring presentations.
---
#1: Simply provide more breathing space.
Rather than cramming all the graphics and text items together, taking up all the available space on a slide, bring the items into the center a bit...shrink them down to a reasonable size...and provide at least 80% "white space" around the items. It creates a more clean and inviting look.
#2: Group bullets and objects into shapes (SmartArt).
Rather than having a whole page of bullets or graphics, try grouping the points into a few colorful rectangles or squares. That way, they're psychologically perceived as a collective entity. Also, we remember graphics more readily than text, so work to find a graphic from a stock photo collection or a scanned photo that will support the bullet and make it come alive with graphics.
#3: Eliminate the template.
On slides where there's no way around the busy-ness (like an organizational chart), simply place your graphics or text on a pure black background. Though templates are great for creating a consistent look, there's nothing bad about deviating from it once in a while with a non-competing image to get the point across.
#4: Span Bullet Points Across Multiple Pages
It's a good idea to limit your bullets no more than 6 per page. But this may not be practical in all cases, so rather than cram them all on a single page, split them over 2 or 3 pages. You may consider creating a separate page for each bullet point with related graphics. Though it can add many pages and take longer to develop, the fast-moving graphical pages work to maintain a strong level of interest with the audience. And don't get worried that you're adding so many pages to your presentation...it's virtual! With this method, it's not uncommon for a 30-minute presentation to have more than 90 slides.
#5: Create a video montage of your graphics.
Instead of a single page comprised of many images, edit a brief video in Google Picasa or Adobe Premiere,(or any other video editing program that imports still images), with each of the graphics moving and dissolving from one to another. Remember to include this video file if you distribute your presentation.
#7: Use animations to introduce text and elements.
Bringing items in one at a time helps to keep the eye focused. Take the time to add transitions and entry/exit effects to your text (dimming bullets after they've appeared is also effective), and they'll flow easier on the eyes of your audience.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
