I will be giving the presentation "Avoiding Chartjunk and Slideument: Principles for the viThis presentation shows the process used to design and produce the presentation using techniques learned with Duarte Design, California, last year.

1. Principles for visual

5. Am I really
going to do
all of
that???
It turned out, unbeknownst to me,
or anyone else I knew, that there
was a whole world of theory
practice behind making really
professional presentations, that
would actually grab an audience
and communicate effectively.
Of course the rub was, this would
take effort and time, every time I
designed a presentation from now
on.

6. Yep! And if I was going to do a presentation to tell
other people about this,,,, I’d better “walk the
talk”. And I’m glad I did…..
Consciously working to understand your audience,
thinking through the contour of the narrative, story-
boarding the visuals is a lot of work but also rewarding
and great fun

8. Brainstorm…. Get all of the
ideas out there

9. Keep the best ideas and give them structure

10. Link story and visuals - storyboards

11. Plot your story like a movie

12. Add humor and memorable moments

13. A creative process ….

14. Hard but worth it

15. Worth it.. BIG TIME
Now it’s your turn…
