Editor's Notes

  • #2 Presentation Slide Design for the Non-designer: The New Rules of Presentations Overview I’m Christina Henderson. Training session is titled “Presentation Slide Design for the Non-designer: The New Rules of Presentations” I’ve spent the last four years as a marketing consultant and four years before that as a secondary English teacher. Now here I am a grad student in training and development. Whether you’re in the business world, or the education world you’ve probably noticed PowerPoint presentations are everywhere. What this session is about Presentation software (PowerPoint) is one of the few tools that requires professionals to think visually. But unlike verbal skills, effective visual presentation is not easy, natural or actively taught in schools or business training programs. This training session will teach you the new rules of presentations that are changing the way smart businesspeople and educators use PowerPoint. Objective Our objective today is for you to learn and be able to apply three new rules of presentations, creating slides that tap into visual, right-brained design skills in order to create more engaging, memorable presentations. Importance This training session will help your career. By learning the new rules of presentations you can become a more effective trainer, set yourself apart from the crowd, leading to greater demand for your services, getting paid more for what you do, and exercising greater influence in your workplace. You will not automatically become a brilliant designer, but your work will look more professional, organized, unified, and interesting. And you will feel empowered. How the training will unfold First, I have some questions to find out what you already know about using Powerpoint. Then I’m going to give you some background on how Powerpoint has traditionally been used, and the shift in thinking that has occurred in recent years. I will present three new rules of presentations, including examples and some tools and resources you can use to further your knowledge. Please ask questions along the way if you have them.
